AISI 316
Austenitic stainless steel delivered in the solution annealed condition Also stocked in H grade and Ti grade designations.
This grade may be strengthened by cold working, but this reduces the corrosion resistance. Cold worked grades are not acceptable to N.ACE MR0175/ ISO 15156.
The grade has low strength and good corrosion resistance. The molybdenum content gives it particularly good seawater corrosion resistance. Hence it is used for small fittings, gaskets and small bore tubing.
The grade is prone to chloride stress corrosion cracking, and therefore NACE MR0175/ ISO 15156 states it should not be used at or above 60 degrees C
