Stainless steel 316 is a type of stainless steel that is highly corrosion resistant and can be used in extreme environments. It contains molybdenum, which makes it more resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion in high-chloride environments. Stainless steel 316 also has excellent resistance to sulfuric and phosphoric acids, making it a popular choice for chemical processing equipment and other applications where these acids are present. It is also known for its high tensile strength and durability, making it a popular choice for applications where high strength and corrosion resistance are required.
