316L Temperature limitations

Temperature limitations are determined based on design application; for example high temperature oxidation exposure is a limitation, creep deformation is a limitation and load-carrying capacity is a limitation. What is your application for this material?

I should also include temperature limitations related to exposure to various corrosive environments.

Temperature limitation information is out there for this material in various sources (see below), you just need to know the application.

The Outokumpu corrosion tables are good.
There are also some souce that deal with high temp corrosion. The book, High Temperature Corrosion of Engineering Alloys by George Lai is one of the best.
Traditionally the other limit is oxidation in air, but first you need to know a few things. Is it constant exsposure or cyclic, what is the air velocity, what about humidity or combustion products in the air
