SUS 316 is an austenitic stainless steel and is classified as a non-magnetic stainless steel. It is a kind of steel obtained by adding molybdenum element to optimize corrosion resistance on the basis of SUS 304. JIS G4304/4312 is the relevant Japanese industry standard that details the manufacturing and quality control requirements for SUS 316 stainless steel.
Features of JIS G4304/4312 SUS 316 Stainless steel:
Excellent corrosion resistance: The molybdenum element in SUS 316 significantly improves its corrosion resistance in chloride environments, especially in seawater and other saline environments.
Good processing performance: The material has good plasticity, toughness and cold deformation properties, making it easy to shape and cut during processing.
Good welding performance: SUS 316 stainless steel can be welded by a variety of standard welding methods, and it is not easy to produce cracks or pores and other defects after welding.
The main chemical components of SUS 316 include iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and molybdenum (Mo). Among them, the content of chromium is about 16-18%, the content of nickel is about 10-14%, and the content of molybdenum is 2-3%. The addition of these elements gives SUS 316 excellent corrosion resistance and processing properties.
JIS G4304/4312 SUS 316 stainless steel mechanical properties: Tensile strength: SUS 316 has a high tensile strength, can withstand greater external forces without breaking. Yield strength: The material can maintain the stability of its shape and structure when subjected to a certain external force. Elongation: SUS 316 has a good elongation, which means that it can undergo a certain degree of plastic deformation without breaking when subjected to external forces.
JIS G4304/4312 SUS 316 Stainless steel application:
Chemical equipment: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, SUS 316 is widely used in the manufacture of components such as chemical equipment, pipes and valves, which can resist the attack of various chemicals.
Marine engineering: In the Marine environment, SUS 316 is used in the manufacture of Marine parts, desalination equipment, etc., due to its high corrosion resistance to seawater.
Food processing: SUS 316 stainless steel is also commonly used in food processing equipment because it is not easy to rust and easy to clean, ensuring food safety and hygiene.
To sum up, JIS G4304/4312 SUS 316 is a stainless steel material with excellent corrosion resistance, good processability and weldability, which is widely used in chemical, Marine engineering and food processing fields.
