Main features of 316 stainless steel plate
Strong corrosion resistance: 316 stainless steel plate due to the addition of Mo (molybdenum) element, its corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength has been significantly improved, especially suitable for harsh corrosion environment.
High temperature strength: 316 stainless steel plate high temperature resistance can reach 1200~1300℃, can maintain stable performance in high temperature environment.
Excellent work hardening: The material has good work hardening and is non-magnetic (in the solid solution state).
Beautiful appearance: 316 stainless steel plate processed by cold rolling, good appearance gloss and beautiful appearance.
Chemical composition and grade of 316 stainless steel plate
Chemical composition: The chemical composition of 316 stainless steel plate mainly includes C (carbon) ≤0.08%, Si (silicon) ≤1.00%, Mn (manganese) ≤2.00%, P (phosphorus) ≤0.035%, S (sulfur) ≤0.03%, Ni (nickel) 10.0~14.0%, Cr (chromium) 16.0~18.5%, Mo (molybdenum) 2.0~3.0%.
The common grades of 316 stainless steel plates are 0Cr17Ni12Mo2 (national standard) and SUS316 (Japanese standard).
316 stainless steel plate application field
Chemical industry: 316 stainless steel plate has an important position in the chemical industry, especially suitable for the manufacture of storage tanks, reactors, pipeline systems and other equipment, these equipment is often exposed to strong acids, alkali and other corrosive chemicals.
Pharmaceutical industry: The pharmaceutical industry has very high requirements for materials, 316 stainless steel plate because of its smooth surface and easy to clean characteristics, is widely used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical equipment, such as mixers, filters and various containers.
Food industry: In the food industry, 316 stainless steel plate can resist the erosion of salt and other chemical components in food, and easy to clean, not easy to breed bacteria, very suitable for making food processing equipment, storage containers, conveyor belts and so on.
Marine engineering: Because 316 stainless steel plate has good resistance to seawater corrosion, it is widely used in ship construction, offshore platform and other fields.
Medical devices: 316 stainless steel plates are also used in the manufacture of medical devices, such as surgical instruments, implants, etc., which need to have high strength, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility characteristics.
Architectural decoration: 316 stainless steel plate is also used in architectural decoration, such as curtain wall, elevator door panel and other parts, not only beautiful, but also durable.
