◆ Application
316 Steel:
Due to the addition of Mo element, 316 steel has greatly improved its corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength. In seawater and various other media, 316 stainless steel has better corrosion resistance than 304 steel.
The high temperature resistance of 316 steel can reach 1200-1300 degrees, it can be used under harsh conditions, and it is mainly used for pitting corrosion resistant materials.
316 stainless steel plate has excellent work hardenability, excellent high temperature strength, and no magnetism in solid solution state.
The cold-rolled products of 316 stainless steel have good gloss and beauty. But compared with 304 steel, the price of 316 stainless steel sheet is higher.
