About
Stainless steel 316 tubes are a chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy known for superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride and marine environments. The addition of 23% molybdenum provides excellent protection against pitting and crevice corrosion compared to 304-grade stainless steel.These tubes are highly durable, heat-resistant up to 870C (1600F), and possess good strength. They are also easily fabricated through cold-working, with good formability and weldability. This makes them a versatile choice for industries like chemical processing, marine, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage, for applications such as piping and heat exchangers.
