AISI 316
316 stainless steel is a highly corrosion resistant grade of stainless steel with the following characteristics and benefits:
Excellent corrosion resistance: 316 stainless steel contains a high proportion of molybdenum and nickel, so that it shows excellent corrosion resistance in corrosive media, especially to chloride corrosion and seawater corrosion has good resistance. This makes 316 stainless steel widely used in Marine environment, chemical equipment, pharmaceutical industry and other occasions with high corrosion requirements.
High temperature performance: 316 stainless steel can still maintain good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties at high temperatures, so it is suitable for equipment and pipelines in high temperature environments, such as heat exchangers, gas discharge pipelines, etc.
Good machinability: 316 stainless steel is easy to process and form, and can be processed by various processing methods, such as forging, machining, welding, etc., and can maintain good surface integrity during processing.
Wide range of applications: Because 316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature properties, it is suitable for many applications requiring high-quality stainless steel, including Marine engineering, chemical equipment, pharmaceutical industry, food processing and so on.
Beautiful and durable: 316 stainless steel has a smooth, bright surface, easy to clean and maintain, so it is widely used in the manufacture of products that need to look beautiful and durable, such as kitchen utensils, decorative materials and so on.
In general, 316 stainless steel with its excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature properties, good workability and a wide range of applications, has become one of the indispensable materials in many industrial fields.
