What Does the L Stand For in 304L & 316L?

304L and 316L stainless steels are low carbon. By having this reduced carbon content it effectively minimises carbide precipitation during welding, eliminating the need for post-weld cleanup. Additionally, it’s important to acknowledge that while these variants offer comparable performance, their tensile strength is slightly lower than 304 and 316 stainless steel.
