316 stainless steel contains 2-3% molybdenum in addition to iron, chromium, and nickel. The inclusion of molybdenum notably enhances the performance of 316 stainless steel in specific corrosive environments, particularly those containing chlorides. 316 stainless steel is frequently preferred for applications requiring higher corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel pipe is highly regarded in the stainless steel industry for several key attributes. Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing austenitic grade, known for its strong resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. As a result, 316 stainless steel is frequently employed in applications requiring higher corrosion resistance. For instance, it is commonly utilized in the manufacturing of ship parts, subsea pipelines, offshore platforms, and other marine facilities. In the chemical industry, it is also widely used for producing equipment such as storage tanks, reactors, and pipelines. Furthermore, 316 stainless steel is a popular choice for manufacturing medical devices and implants due to its exceptional biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
