AISI 316 stainless steel is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives AISI 316 stainless steel better overall corrosion resistant properties than Grade 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. AISI 316 stainless steel has excellent forming and welding characteristics. AISI 316 stainless steel is readily brake or roll formed into a variety of parts for applications in the industrial, architectural, and transportation fields.
AISI 316 stainless steel also has outstanding welding characteristics. Post-weld annealing is not required when welding thin sections. AISI 316 stainless steel is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components .
