Stainless Steel 316 is an austenitic alloy that includes 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, which boosts its resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and environments rich in chlorides. It boasts a tensile strength ranging from 515–750 MPa, a yield strength of about 205 MPa, and maintains excellent ductility and toughness even at high and cryogenic temperatures. SS 316 also excels in weldability and formability, making it ideal for intricate fabrications. Its superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 makes it the go-to choice for applications that demand durability in harsh industrial or marine conditions.
