CHEMICAL COMPOSITION MATERIAL - The most important part of processing system is its components. And the most important part of processing components is its metallurgical composition. Because a pharmaceutical process system requires a metal that is highly resistant to corrosion and free of crevices, most pharmaceutical manufacturers prefer components made from 316L stainless steel is readily available and contain a maximum of 0.03% carbon, which reduces carbide precipitation during welding. Apart from this good weld ability and corrosion resistance, 316L also offers structural integrity and thermal stability. |
