Grade 316 stainless steel is an austenitic form of stainless steel that has a molybdenum content of 2-3%. The added molybdenum makes the metal more resistant to pitting and corrosion and improves resistance to exposure to high temperatures. This grade of stainless steel is particularly effective when used in acidic environments. Using this metal, you can prevent corrosion caused by acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, and other forms of acid.
316 stainless steel pipe is a kind of austenitic stainless steel. Compared with traditional iron pipes and ordinary stainless steel materials, it has the following significant characteristics:
1. Corrosion resistance: 316 stainless steel pipe has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in highly corrosive environments such as marine environment, industrial waste gas and chemical media. This is mainly due to the stable passivation film formed on its surface, which can effectively prevent oxidation.
2. High strength: 316 stainless steel pipe has high strength and toughness, can withstand greater pressure and impact, and is not easy to deform and break.
3. Beautiful and durable: The surface of 316 stainless steel pipe is smooth and beautiful. It is not easy to rust or discolor after long-term use, and maintains a long-lasting luster and good appearance.
4. Environmental protection: 316 stainless steel pipe can be recycled and reused, which is conducive to environmental protection and sustainable development.
How high temperature can 316 stainless steel pipe withstand?
The range of high temperature resistance of 316 stainless steel is roughly 1200-1300 degrees, and it can be used under relatively harsh conditions. The reason why it can withstand such high temperatures is that it adds Mo elements, which greatly increases its corrosion resistance and high temperature strength.
Compared with other steels, 316 stainless steel has: excellent work hardening (non-magnetic); excellent high temperature strength; non-magnetic in solid solution; cold-rolled products have good gloss and beautiful appearance; relatively high price compared to
304 stainless steel. 316 stainless steel uses: equipment for seawater, chemical, dye, papermaking, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment; photography, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD rods, bolts, nuts. Features and advantages of 316 stainless steel pipe: cold-rolled products have good gloss and beautiful appearance; due to the addition of Mo, corrosion resistance, especially pitting resistance performance indicators are excellent; excellent high temperature strength; excellent work hardening (weak magnetism after processing) non-magnetic in solid solution; relatively high price compared to 304 stainless steel.
