316 Stainless Steel Overview

316 stainless steel is an austenitic alloy containing molybdenum for excellent corrosion resistance and formability. It is highly weldable and well suited to marine, chloride-rich, and chemical processing environments.

  • Marine performance: 316 suits boat fittings and marine equipment.
  • Chemical resistance: Molybdenum supports corrosion resistance in chemical processing environments.
  • Weldable and formable: 316 works well for fabricated components and welded assemblies.

Selection note: 316's molybdenum addition supports corrosion resistance in marine and chemical processing applications.
