About 316 Stainless Steel

The 316 grade is also mostly comprised of iron, and similarly contains high amounts of nickel and chromium – at 10-14 percent and 16-18 percent respectively – as well as smaller amounts of carbon, manganese, molybdenum and silicon. For this reason, the 316 grade of stainless steel tends to be the preferred choice for use in marine environments.
