316 quality stainless steel is typically classified according to the AISI 316 or ASTM A276 standard and is a member of the stainless steel family.
The chemical properties of this type of steel are given below:
1. Iron (Fe): 63%
2. Chromium (Cr): 16-18%
3. Nickel (Ni): 10-14%
4. Molybdenum (Mo): 2-3%
5. Manganese (Mn): 2%
6. Silicon (Si): 1%
7. Carbon (C): 0.08% maximum
8. Sulfur (S): 0.03% maximum
9. Phosphorus (P): 0.045% maximum
316 quality stainless steel exhibits high resistance to corrosion and is resistant to various chemical substances such as seawater, acids, and bases. As a result, it is preferred in many applications, including the marine industry, chemical industry, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and medical devices. Additionally, 316
