Description

The second most common grade after 304 is 316 Stainless Steel. It is a popular chromium, nickel, molybdenum-bearing stainless steel grade. Though it is often referred to as marine grade stainless steel, it is in fact not resistant to seawater. It is well known for its corrosion resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. This grade of steel is effective in protecting against corrosion caused by sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, formic, and tartaric acids, as well as acid sulfates and alkaline chlorides. It is reasonable to expect specifications in these standards to be similar but not necessarily identical to those given in this data sheet.
