Professional FAQ - 316L Stainless Steel

What's the difference between 316L and regular stainless steel?
316L is a low-carbon variant of 316 stainless steel, offering improved corrosion resistance and reduced risk of sensitization. The "L" designation indicates lower carbon content, making it more suitable for body jewelry applications.
Can 316L steel jewelry be autoclaved repeatedly?
Yes, 316L stainless steel withstands repeated autoclave sterilization cycles without degradation. The material maintains its structural integrity and finish quality through standard professional sterilization protocols.
