About 316 Stainless steel

316 Stainless steel Characteristics
  • Characteristics: due to the addition of Mo, its corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength are particularly good, which can be used under harsh conditions; Excellent work hardening (non-magnetic); Excellent high temperature strength; No magnetism in solid solution state; Cold rolled products have good gloss and beautiful appearance; Compared with 304 stainless steel, the price is higher.
  • The corrosion resistance, and high temperature strength of 316 stainless steel have been greatly improved due to the addition of Mo element. The high temperature resistance can reach 1200-1300 degrees and can be used under harsh conditions.
  • Uses: seawater equipment, chemical, dye, papermaking, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment; Photography, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD rods, bolts, nuts.
