316 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel. Austenitic stainless steel refers to stainless steel having an austenite structure at normal temperature. When the steel contains about 18% Cr, Ni 8% to 25%, and C about 0.1%, it has a stable austenite structure. Due to the addition of Mo element, 316 has a great improvement in corrosion resistance and high temperature strength. It can withstand temperatures up to 1200-1300 degrees and can be used under harsh conditions.
