Offering top-notch corrosion resistance and strength, 316 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel that is a mixture of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. As the second most popular stainless steel (after 304 stainless steel), 316 is a favorite of many Wanzhi customers who use it to make a variety of custom components and products. It is used in shipbuilding, chemical plants, medical device manufacturing, and the food industry, among others.

316 stainless steel (also known as SAE 316 stainless steel) has some special ingredients that make it unique. Here are its specific chemical compositions:

Carbon (C): ≤0.08%
Silicon (Si): ≤1.00%
Manganese (Mn): ≤2.00%
Phosphorus (P): ≤0.045%
Sulfur (S): ≤0.030%
Nickel (Ni): 10.0-14.0%
Chromium (Cr): 16.0-18.0%
Molybdenum (Mo): 2.0-3.0%

Chinese standards: GB/T 1220, GB/T 4237

American standards: ASTM A240, ASTM A276

European standards: EN 10088

316 stainless steel manufacturing is mainly divided into three steps: melting, casting, and rolling. 316 stainless steel is usually produced in an electric arc furnace (EAF). Based on high-purity metal raw materials such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum and scrap steel, the raw materials are melted and mixed in an electric furnace. Then, the hot mixture can be cast, cooled, and cut into any shape you want, whether it is a bar, rod or plate.

Food industry: Due to its safety, non-toxicity, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning, it is widely used in the manufacture of food processing equipment, storage containers, pipes, and accessories.

Medical industry: 316 stainless steel has good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, and can be used to manufacture medical device shells, etc.

Chemical industry: In the chemical industry, 316 stainless steel can be used to manufacture reactors, storage tanks, pipelines and other equipment.

Marine field: Due to its excellent seawater corrosion resistance, it is often used to manufacture seawater utilization equipment, ship parts, offshore platform facilities, etc.

الديكور المعماري : 316 stainless steel has a beautiful appearance and good weather resistance. It can be used in the field of architectural decoration to increase the beauty of the building.

Similar to 304, 316 stainless steel can be found everywhere. Here are some of the items, utensils, and components it can be made into:

Cookware
