SUS316 Stainless Steel – The Perfect Choice For Harsh Environments

May 22, 2025

SUS316 is an Austenitic stainless steel containing molybdenum (Mo), which increases corrosion resistance superior to the common SUS304 steel line. With the ideal Cr-Ni-Mo content, SUS316 is especially suitable for applications in harsh environments such as chemical, marine, food and medical.

Outstanding advantages of SUS316 steel

  • Outstanding corrosion resistance : Good resistance in environments containing chlorine, strong acids, seawater, salt vapor...
  • Good heat resistance : Stable operation in temperatures up to 870°C.
  • High durability : Maintains mechanical structure for a long time, limits deformation during processing.
  • Safe and hygienic : Commonly used in the food and medical equipment industries due to its antibacterial properties and ease of cleaning.
  • High aesthetics : Glossy surface, easy to polish or finish as required.

Applications of SUS316 in industry and life

Stainless steel SUS316 is chosen for many fields thanks to its outstanding properties:

  • Food and medical industry : Tanks, pipes, surgical instruments.
  • Marine – oil and gas industry : Ship hulls, marine accessories, heat exchangers.
  • Chemical and environmental industry : Reactors, chemical treatment equipment, water filtration equipment.
  • Construction and architecture industry : Railings, partitions, outdoor decorative details.
  • Precision mechanical processing : Machine parts, transmission shafts, anti-rust screws.

What is the difference between SUS316 steel and SUS304?
