Stainless Steel 316 Features and Applications

316 stainless steel plate is a highly corrosion-resistant steel grade that possesses the following characteristics:

High Corrosion Resistance: It exhibits good resistance to corrosion in various corrosive media such as seawater, acids, and alkalis.

High Oxidation Resistance: It effectively resists oxidation and corrosion in high-temperature and oxidizing environments, including hot water, steam, and chemicals.

High Strength: It maintains high strength and ductility even at high temperatures and under high-pressure conditions.

Good Processability: It is easy to cut, weld, and shape during processing.

The key difference between 316 stainless steel and other stainless steel grades lies in its higher content of molybdenum, which enhances its corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. As a result, it is more suitable for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance and resistance to high temperatures and pressures compared to stainless steel 304.

316 stainless steel plate is widely used in industries such as chemical processing, pulp and paper, marine engineering, food processing, medical devices, and architectural decoration. For example, it is employed in the manufacturing of medical instruments and surgical tools, fabrication of kitchen and bathroom equipment and appliances, and production of high-quality chemical equipment and pipelines. Additionally, 316 stainless steel finds applications in the marine and petroleum industries for the construction of offshore platforms, saltwater pipelines, and chemical reactors, among other equipment.

Stainless Steel 200 / 300 / 400 Series Characteristics

Stainless steel plate is typically composed of iron, carbon, chromium, nickel, cobalt, and other alloying elements. Stainless steel can be divided into three series: 200 series, 300 series, and 400 series, which differ in the type and proportion of alloying elements.

200 Series: Primarily containing nickel and manganese but no chromium, they have poorer corrosion resistance but good ductility and formability, making them easy to process and shape. Products made from 200 series stainless steel include kitchen utensils, furniture, pipes, and building structures.

300 Series: Primarily containing chromium and nickel but no molybdenum, they have excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, making them particularly suitable for use in industries such as chemical, petroleum, and food processing. The most common of these is 304 stainless steel, which has a wide range of applications including kitchen utensils, food processing equipment, medical devices, building exterior decoration, and more.

400 Series: Primarily containing chromium and molybdenum but no nickel, they have poorer corrosion resistance but good heat and wear resistance, making them particularly suitable for use in industries such as mechanical and automotive manufacturing. The most common of these is 430 stainless steel, which is used to make components such as cutting tools, screws, bearings, and automotive parts, as well as building and decorative materials.

Stainless Steel Surface Finish

NO.1 Surface: Hot-rolled, annealed, and pickled surface with a rough texture, suitable for industrial applications that require heat and corrosion resistance.

2B Surface: Cold-rolled, annealed, and pickled surface with a matte finish, processed to make the surface smooth, and easily polished for a brighter appearance.

BA Surface (Bright Annealed): Cold-rolled, annealed, and bright annealed surface with excellent glossiness and high reflectivity.

NO.4 Surface: Also known as a brushed finish, this surface is achieved by using a 150-180 grit abrasive, resulting in a continuous and unidirectional pattern of fine lines.

HL Surface (Hair Line): Hairline finish, achieved by using an appropriate grit size of abrasive to create continuous linear patterns that resemble hairlines.

NO.8 Surface (Mirror): Mirror-like finish achieved by cold-rolling and then polishing to a high shine.

Checkered Plate: Stainless steel plate with a balanced three-dimensional pattern used for anti-slip purposes.
