316 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel. The corrosion resistance and high temperature strength of 316 stainless steel are greatly improved by adding Mo element. The high temperature resistance can reach 1200-1300 degrees, which can be used under harsh conditions.

 

It is mainly used for heat exchangers, dyeing equipment, film washing equipment, pipes and materials for building exterior in coastal areas. In 2013, it is also used in the field of solenoid valves, mainly for shell, clamp, sphere, valve body, seat, nut, stem and so on.
