436L stainless steel is a low-carbon ferritic stainless steel, containing about 17% chromium and a small amount of molybdenum (Mo), with excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and high temperature resistance. Compared with 409L, 436L has a higher chromium content and the addition of molybdenum, which further improves its performance in corrosive environments, especially in chlorine-containing environments such as salt water, pitting and crevices corrosion resistance. 436L stainless steel belt is widely used in automotive, home appliances, construction and chemical industry and other fields.
