316L-SCQ: The pinnacle 
of surface excellence

Carpenter Technology produces three standard and multiple custom variants of 316L-SCQ, an austenitic stainless steel with:

Best-in-class surface finish

Engineered for applications where extremely fine surface finishes are paramount.

Customizable sulfur content

Dialed in to your exact requirements, in tight ranges below 0.015% to ensure the highest machinability, weldability, and inclusion count control.

Micro-cleanness

Carefully selected melt stock ensures the highest purity, restricting the presence of typical residual elements and optimizing internal cleanness.

Melting matters

In-house premium melting processes give us precise control over the chemistry, cleanliness, performance, and quality of our alloys:

Air melting + vacuum arc remelting (AOD+VAR)

Delivers a superior surface finish by refining the metal in a vacuum, resulting in a pristine, inclusion-free alloy.

Vacuum induction melting + vacuum arc remelting (VIM+VAR)

Ensures alloys are virtually free of inclusions to meet the most stringent micro-cleanness requirements.
