description
316 Stainless Steel Description:
316 stainless strip coil is an austenitic chromium nickel stainless steel containing molybdenum. This addition increases general corrosion resistance, improves resistance to pitting from chloride ion solutions, and provides increased strength at elevated temperatures. Properties are similar to those of Type 304 except that this alloy is somewhat stronger at elevated temperatures. Corrosion resistance is improved, particularly against sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, formic, and tartaric acids; acid sulfates and alkaline chlorides. 316 stainless steel strip, coil, and sheet can be used for a variety of applications.
Industries Supplied:
- Aerospace
- Chemical Processing
- Food Processing
- Power Generation
- General Manufacturing
