316 Stainless Steel is a kind of austenitic stainless steel, which is widely used in chemical, medical, food processing, marine engineering and other fields because of its excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature strength, and mechanical properties. As an upgraded version of 304 Stainless Steel, 316 Stainless Steel is further enhanced by the addition of molybdenum (Mo), which further improves its corrosion resistance, especially pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in chloride environments. Wanzhi Steel stocks stainless steel plates/coils in different grades, patterns, sizes, etc. In addition, we also offer a wide range of stainless steel plates/coils in different grades, patterns, and sizes. Welcome to contact us for more details!

Heat Resistance: High temperature resistance can reach 1200~1300 degrees Celsius and can maintain stable performance in environments below 800 degrees Celsius.
Low Temperature Resistance: It can still maintain good toughness and strength in low temperature environments and is suitable for low-temperature applications such as liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Corrosion resistance: Outstanding performance especially in chloride environment. Corrosion resistance is better than 304 stainless steel, mainly used for pitting resistance materials.
High strength and toughness: Maintain good mechanical properties in both high and low temperature environments.
Good processing performance: Easy to weld, molding, and processing.
Non-magnetic: Suitable for application scenarios that require non-magnetic properties.
Aesthetics: A variety of surface treatments, suitable for decorative use.
Environmental protection and hygiene: Meets the safety standards of the food and medical industries.
