Packaging is selected according to sheet thickness, dimensions, surface condition, processing state and transportation requirements. Surface protection is particularly important for precision and medical-material applications.
316LVM is a vacuum-melted, low-carbon austenitic stainless steel grade commonly identified as UNS S31673 and used where controlled chemistry, material cleanliness and traceability are important.
Both are molybdenum-bearing low-carbon austenitic stainless steels, but 316LVM is produced using vacuum melting routes and is commonly specified for applications requiring tighter control of material cleanliness and traceability.
ASTM F139 is a commonly referenced specification for wrought 18Cr-14Ni-2.5Mo stainless steel sheet and strip used in surgical implant applications. The governing specification for each order should be confirmed before production.
