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.
