Type 316 (UNS S31600) is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel which is more resistant to general
corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels
such as Type 304. This alloy also offers higher creep, stress-to-rupture and tensile strength at elevated
temperatures. In addition to excellent corrosion resistance and strength properties, grades 316 and 316L also
provide the excellent fabricability and formability which are typical of austenitic stainless steels.

Resistance to Corrosion: Types 316 is more resistant to atmospheric and other mild types of corrosion than
Types 302, 304 and 304L. In general, media that do not corrode Types 302, 304, and 304L, will not attack these
molybdenum-containing grades. One known exception is highly oxidizing acids such as nitric acid to which the
molybdenum-bearing stainless steels are less resistant.

304/304L Stainless Steel Round, an economical grade of stainless that is ideal for all applications where strength and superior corrosion resistance is required. 304 Stainless Round has a durable dull, mill finish that is widely used for all types of fabrication projects that are exposed to the elements – chemical, acidic, fresh water, and salt water environments.
