Stainless Steel 316

Stainless Steel 316 is likewise austenitic, non-attractive, and thermally non-hardenable stainless steel like Stainless Steel 304. The carbon substance is held to 0.08% greatest, while the nickel substance is expanded marginally. What recognizes Type 316 from Type 304 is the expansion of molybdenum up to a most extreme of 3%. Molybdenum builds the consumption resistance of this chromium-nickel combination to withstand assault by numerous mechanical chemicals and solvents, and, specifically, hinders setting brought on by chlorides. As being what is indicated, molybdenum is one of the absolute most helpful alloying added substances in the battle against corrosion. Grade 316 Stainless Steel will oblige post-weld toughening to advance greatest erosion resistance, however this is a bit much if Grade 316L is utilized.

The steel was initially produced for the paper producing industry as it has been shown to be highly resistant to the sulphur compounds used in paper processing. Typical applications for this material are now widespread due to its superior corrosion resistance properties when compared to Grade 304. Type 316 stainless can be found in heat exchangers, pharmaceutical equipment, dairies and breweries, marine fittings, coastal architectural fascia and fittings and in food preparation areas.

Stainless Steel 316 & 316L steel plate and pipes have common properties and are often stocked with Dual Certification, where it is determined that both have properties and composition which comply with both steel types. Grade 316H is excluded from this scenario by virtue of the fact that unlike 316 & 316L, 316H is engineered to work in elevated working temperatures.
