What does 316 mean in stainless steel?
316 stainless steel refers to a kind of 304 stainless steel based on the addition of Ni, Cr, and Mo elements, and has better performance than 304 stainless steel, has good high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and can resist marine erosion and industrial atmosphere erosion. Can be used under harsh conditions. has the following content:
316 stainless steel refers to the stainless steel material whose chemical composition is P≤0.035, S≤0.03, Ni:10.0-14.0, Cr:16.0-18.5, Mo:2.0-3.0. 316 stainless steel will also have better performance than 304 stainless steel, such as good high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
316 is the second most widely used steel grade after 304. It is mainly used in the food industry, watch accessories, pharmaceutical industry and surgical equipment. Adding molybdenum element makes it obtain a special corrosion-resistant structure. Because of the addition of Mo, 316 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, can resist marine erosion and industrial atmosphere erosion, and can be used under harsh conditions, which is also an important part superior to 304 stainless steel.
