What are the benefits of 316 stainless steel?

Some of the main advantages of 316 stainless steel:

Heat and cold resistance: 316 stainless steel performs well at temperatures up to 800°C.

Rust and wear resistance: Compared with other stainless steel grades, 316 has excellent rust and wear resistance.

Corrosion resistance: Adding molybdenum to 316 stainless steel can improve its resistance to acid, alkali and chloride pitting.

Easy to form and weld: 316 stainless steel is easy to weld with TIG or MIG welding and does not require post-weld annealing. After annealing, it is non-magnetic. 316 stainless steel can also be easily formed by braking or rolling molding.

Durability: It has a tensile strength of 515 MPa and maintains its corrosion resistance with minimal maintenance.

Hygiene: This grade of stainless steel is ideal for hygienic applications as it is easy to clean and disinfect.

Sustainability: 316 stainless steel is 100% recyclable.
