Due to the addition of Mo element, the corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength of 316 stainless steel pipes have been greatly improved. In seawater and various other media, 316 austenitic stainless steel pipe has better corrosion resistance than 304 steel.

The high temperature resistance of austenitic stainless steel 316 pipe can reach 1200-1300 degrees, it can be used under harsh conditions, and it is mainly used for pitting corrosion resistant materials. 316 steel pipe has excellent work hardening, excellent high temperature strength, non-magnetic in solid solution state. 316 stainless steel cold-rolled steel pipe has good gloss and aesthetics. But compared with 304 steel, the price of 316 pipe is higher.

Austenitic stainless steel 316 pipe is a hollow long round steel with light weight in terms of bending and torsional strength, so it is mainly widely used in industrial pipes and mechanical structural parts such as petroleum, chemical industry, medical treatment, food, light industry, mechanical instrumentation, etc.
