316 Stainless Steel Sheet Description:

Grade 316 is a popular alloy of stainless steel with a melting range of 2,500 °F – 2,550 °F (1,371 °C – 1,399 °C). As an austenitic stainless steel alloy, it has qualities such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and high concentrations of chromium and nickel. The alloy has a tensile strength of 579 MPa (84 ksi) and a maximum use temperature of around 800˚C (1,472˚F).

Additionally, grade 316 has added molybdenum in its formulation, which improves the alloy’s resistance to acids, alkalis, and chloride pitting.

316 Stainless Steel Properties & Applications:

Grade 316 steel comes in a close second to 304 stainless steel in terms of commonality. With similar physical and mechanical properties to grade 304, it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference between the two with the naked eye. The primary differentiator is in grade 316’s material composition:

1) 16 percent chromium

2) 10 percent nickel

3) 2 percent molybdenum

The increased nickel content and the inclusion of molybdenum makes grade 316 stainless steel a bit costlier than grade 304 per ounce of material. But where grade 316 stainless proves superior is its increased corrosion resistance—particularly against chlorides and chlorinated solutions. This makes grade 316 stainless particularly desirable for applications where exposure to salt or other powerful corrosives is an issue.

Some of the more common applications for grade 316 steel are:

1. Stainless steel baskets

2. Marine parts

3. Outdoor electrical enclosures

4. Medical-surgical instruments

5. Pharmaceutical equipment

6. Chemical equipment

What’s the difference between grade 316 and grade 304 stainless steel?

The most basic difference between grade 304 and grade 316 stainless steels is that 316 tends to have more nickel and a bit of molybdenum in the mix. The general mechanical properties of the two metals are mostly comparable.

The increased nickel content and the inclusion of molybdenum allows for grade 316 stainless steel to have better chemical resistance than 304 stainless steel. It’s ability to resist acids and chlorides, including salt, makes grade 316 ideal for chemical processing and marine applications.

However, the addition of nickel and molybdenum also makes grade 316 a more expensive alloy than stainless steel 304 per ounce of material.

Additionally, the melting point of grade 304 stainless steel is a bit higher than that of grade 316. The melting range of 316 is 2,500 °F – 2,550 °F (1,371 °C – 1,399 °C), roughly 50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit lower than the melting point of grade 304 stainless steel.

Though the stainless steel 304 alloy has a higher melting point, grade 316 has a better resistance to chemicals and chlorides (like salt) than grade 304 stainless steel. When it comes to applications with chlorinated solutions or exposure to salt, grade 316 stainless steel is considered superior.
