Abstract:
AISI 316L is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel that has highest corrosion and creep resistance properties because of molybdenum (Mo) contents in addition to other constituents of the austenitic stainless steels and is modified for welded construction (low carbon content modification). In this research paper, a thorough review on welding of AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel was made considering four different most commonly used welding processes. From the review, it is acquired that shielded metal arc welding (especially manual) is the most suitable choice of welding process for AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel because of possible reactions of chromium with carbon and oxygen at welding temperatures in other welding processes.
