What is 316 grade stainless steel used for?

Due to the addition of Mo element, 316 stainless steel has greatly improved its corrosion resistance and high temperature strength. The high temperature resistance can reach 1200-1300 degrees, and it can be used under harsh conditions.
The main uses of stainless steel 316 are heat exchangers for pulp and paper equipment, dyeing equipment, film processing equipment, pipelines, and external materials for buildings in coastal areas. In 2013, it was also used in the field of solenoid valves, mainly for shells, clamps, balls, valve bodies, valve seats, nuts, valve stems, etc.
316 stainless steel has good welding performance. All standard welding methods can be used for welding. According to the application, 316Cb, 316L or 309Cb stainless steel filler rods or welding rods can be used for welding. In order to obtain the best corrosion resistance, the welded section of 316 stainless steel needs to be annealed after welding. If 316L stainless steel is used, post-weld annealing is not required
