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
