Stainless Steel 316 (SS316) is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing moderate amounts of molybdenum to improve overall corrosion resistance, especially pitting resistance to chloride ion solutions. The addition of molybdenum also increases strength at high temperatures. For this reason, SS316 is also known as the "Mo-Added" version of SS304. Stainless Steel 316L (SS316L) is an ultra-low carbon version of SS316 that minimizes harmful carbide precipitation during welding. Both SS316 and SS316L have excellent corrosion resistance against sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, formic and tartaric acids; as well as against acidic sulfates and alkaline chlorides. They are widely used in exhaust manifolds, heat exchangers, pharmaceutical equipment, cryogenic piping, valve and pump internals, chemical and petrochemical processes, pulp and paper industry and food industry, etc.
EDEST STEEL is a large stainless steel manufacturer in China. It produces 316 stainless steel coils and 304 stainless steel coils all the year round. The length and width of flattened stainless steel plates can be customized according to customer requirements.
