the 316L is popping up on various brand reps, through various dealers now .. It would seem that this has more resilient properties than the 316F which has been used in the reps.. do the genuine brands have this in use ??
China, being the producer of everything metallic from forks and knives .. is this steel now their bread and butter for the steel industry???.. I'm just thinking out loud.
Handling the 1665 vintage with 316L it would seem to be stronger.. but that means a little more difficulty in modding the case ??
anyway.. here's some info on the 316L
thought's from the metallurgist here ???
about the "form-ability" ???
