Since the stainless steel 316 is a low carbon variety. The jewelry is polished in order to reflect, when polished the true 316L will turn nearly white not a grey metal in color. So, this steel most of the time is a non magnetic when annealed. '316L' obtains from low carbon which never creates a rust surface and is also immune and tolerant to the constant salt water exposure. 316L is used because it is an extreme resistance to corrosion.316L of Austenitic Stainless Steel is used in the form to avoid the corrosion problem caused by welding.
The meani
ng of "L" is that the carbon contents of the Stainless Steel is below 0.03%, it will reduce the sensitizations effect, precipitation of at grain boundaries, due to the high temperature produced by welding operation. 316L can be re-finished by any jeweler and will not oxidize or turn black.316 stainless steel has a mid range level of carbon. Whereas, a stainless is a variety of an alloyed steel which is at least 10 percent of chromium and at times includes elements and is also resistant to
corrosion or rusting associated with the exposure to the water and moist air. The most common uses of a stainless steel are cutlery and watch straps. Stainless steel also know as inox steel or inox inox implant grade steel. Inox is common in body piercing in the States. Inox is a type of a metal which does not rust.
