- Composition: 316 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel that contains between 2 and 3% molybdenum. The molybdenum content increases corrosion resistance, improves resistance to pitting in chloride ion solutions, and increases strength at high temperatures.
- Properties:
- Excellent corrosion resistance, even in chloride-rich environments.
- Good weldability, formability, and toughness when cold-worked or heated.
- Common Applications:
- Marine Industry: Used extensively due to its corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
- Chemical Processing: Suitable for handling corrosive chemicals.
- Food Service Industry: Used for food processing equipment.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Used for pharmaceutical equipment.
- Architecture and Construction: Used in architectural elements and construction materials.
- Medical Devices: Ideal for medical equipment due to its corrosion resistance.
