Excellent corrosion resistance

Stainless Steel 316 is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in applications where the material may be exposed to harsh environments or corrosive substances.

 

High strength and durability

With a tensile strength of up to 579 MPa (84 ksi) and a yield strength of up to 290 MPa (42 ksi), Stainless Steel 316 can withstand high levels of stress and deformation without losing its shape or structural integrity.

 

GREATER RESISTANCE TO PITTING AND CREVICE CORROSION THAN STAINLESS STEEL 304

The addition of molybdenum to the alloy provides superior corrosion resistance in chloride-rich environments, such as marine and coastal environments.

COMMENT

Stainless Steel 316 is a highly versatile and corrosion-resistant material, ideal for use in harsh environments and for applications requiring strength and durability.

It is an austenitic alloy that contains chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which provide excellent corrosion resistance and enhanced strength at high temperatures. The addition of molybdenum to the alloy makes it more resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion than Stainless Steel 304, making it ideal for use in marine and coastal environments.

Stainless Steel 316 is also highly resistant to oxidation and can withstand temperatures of up to 870°C (1600°F) without losing its strength or durability. This makes it an ideal material for use in high-temperature applications such as chemical processing, food processing, and pharmaceutical production.

In addition to its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature capabilities, Stainless Steel 316 is also highly durable and easy to maintain. It is easy to clean and disinfect, making it ideal for use in hygiene-sensitive applications such as medical and laboratory equipment, food processing, and aerospace.

The material is also highly machinable and weldable, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Its strength, durability and corrosion resistance make it an excellent choice for applications such as marine and coastal equipment, chemical processing and oil and gas production.

Overall, Stainless Steel 316 is a very versatile material that offers excellent strength, durability and corrosion resistance. It is the best choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications where performance and reliability are crucial.
