AISI 316 Stainless Steel Chemical Composition Properties, Grade, Tables and Pdf

AISI 316 is one of the most popular grades of austenitic stainless steel because of its high corrosion resistance, which puts it in the class of many widely used materials in various industries. And its chemical make-up is composed of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, and some other alloying elements, which are responsible for their excellent resistance to commonly harsh conditions. The option of grade 316 includes a superior performance in terms of corrosion resistance from acids, alkalis and chloride solutions. This is important for marine, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Depending on the production process its content usually ranges between approximately 17% and 19% chromo, 10%-14% nickel and 2%-3% of molybdenum as well as small amounts of other elements. Equipment processing, drug pharmaceuticals and medical devices made of AISI 316 due to its hygienic properties and biocompatibility are frequently used.

AISI 316 Austenitic Stainless Steel Chemical Composition And Grade Table

The chemical composition and table of steel grades for AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel give information about the material that is essential. It is iron, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which make AISI 316 belonging to stainless steels. It is especially well in this chemical aggressive medium that AISI 316 performs at its best. In a general way, a chromium content around 16-18%, is recommended, along with percentages of 10-14 nickel, 2-3 molybdenum, and not more than 0.03% of carbon, maximum 0.3% silicon, 0.1-0.2% manganese, 0.045% phosphorus This choice of materials delivers admirable level of strength, durability and resilience, which makes AISI 316 a prime choice for many applications in marine and chemical processing industries.
