RVS 316L KGW 2B 1ZF

Metals

RVS 316L KGW 2B 1ZF is a cold-rolled, austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless steel sheet with a smooth 2B finish and one-sided protective film. Thanks to its low carbon content (L = low carbon), this material is highly weldable without the risk of intergranular corrosion. The addition of molybdenum improves corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-containing environments. The combination of excellent corrosion resistance, smooth finish, and workability makes it ideal for demanding applications.
Known alternative designations include 1.4404, AISI 316L, and X2CrNiMo17-12-2.

Frequently Asked Questions about RVS 316L KGW 2B 1ZF

What does “KGW 2B 1ZF” mean?

“KGW” stands for cold-rolled, “2B” refers to the smooth, matte finish achieved by cold rolling and pickling, and “1ZF” indicates that one side is protected with a peel-off film.

Is 316L stainless steel suitable for food-industry applications?

Yes, 316L meets food-contact requirements and is widely used in the food industry.

Can 316L KGW 2B 1ZF be welded?

Yes, its low carbon content ensures excellent weldability without risk of intergranular corrosion.

What is the difference between 304L and 316L stainless steel?

316L contains molybdenum, which enhances corrosion resistance in chloride-rich environments, making it better suited for marine and chemical uses than 304L.

Is this material suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, 316L is highly resistant to weathering and seawater, ideal for exterior applications.

What thicknesses are standard?

316L KGW 2B 1ZF is typically available in 1 mm to 6 mm thicknesses, depending on the supplier.

Can it be used for visible (architectural) work?

Yes, the smooth 2B surface and protective film make it perfect for decorative and visible installations.

Is the material magnetic?

316L is austenitic and therefore essentially non-magnetic, though slight magnetism can develop after heavy cold forming.

SS 304L CR 240 Grid 1sf

Metals

RVS 304L KGW K240 1ZF is a cold-rolled, austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel sheet with a ground surface (grain 240) and one-sided protective film. Thanks to its low carbon content (L = low carbon), this material is highly weldable without risk of intergranular corrosion. The combination of good corrosion resistance, attractive finish, and workability makes it ideal for visual applications in demanding environments.
Known alternative designations include 1.4307, AISI 304L, and X2CrNi18-9.
