ASTM A240 316 321 310S 309S 430 Steel Sheet 1- 6mm Stainless Steel Plate Sheet 1220*2440mm Construction
Product Description
Type 316, akin to Type 304, is an austenitic, non-magnetic, and thermally non-hardenable stainless steel. It maintains a maximum carbon content of 0.08%, with a slight increase in nickel content. What sets Type 316 apart is the inclusion of molybdenum, up to a maximum of 3%. This addition significantly enhances the corrosion resistance of the chromium-nickel alloy, enabling it to withstand attacks from various industrial chemicals and solvents, while also thwarting chloride pitting. Molybdenum stands out as one of the most effective alloying agents for combating corrosion.
Due to the presence of molybdenum, Type 316 exhibits exceptional resistance to corrosive substances such as sodium and calcium brines, hypochlorite solutions, phosphoric acid, and sulfurous acids typically encountered in the paper pulp industry. Consequently, this alloy finds widespread application in the medical sector, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and sterile environments. Moreover, Type 316 is extensively utilized for surgical implants.

Features:
- Lower Corrosion Resistance: Grade 316 stainless steel generally offers better overall corrosion resistance compared to grade 321. Grade 316 contains a higher amount of molybdenum, which enhances its resistance to various corrosive environments, including chloride-containing environments such as seawater.
- Reduced Strength at Elevated Temperatures: While grade 321 is designed for high-temperature applications, its mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and yield strength, may be somewhat reduced at elevated temperatures compared to grade 316. This can impact its performance in certain high-stress applications.
- Limited Cold Workability: Grade 321 stainless steel can be less easily cold-worked compared to grade 316. The presence of titanium in grade 321 can lead to increased strain hardening and reduced ductility during cold-forming processes.
- Sensitization at Extreme Temperatures: Although grade 321 is designed to resist sensitization, extreme temperatures or prolonged exposure to certain aggressive environments can still lead to sensitization and subsequent intergranular corrosion. While grade 316 is also susceptible to sensitization, its molybdenum content provides enhanced resistance in this regard.
- Potential for Titanium Nitride Precipitation: In certain environments, titanium nitride precipitation can occur on the surface of grade 321 stainless steel, affecting its appearance. This phenomenon is less likely to occur in grade 316.
- Limited Availability: Grade 321 stainless steel might be less commonly available compared to grade 316, depending on the region and specific suppliers. This can affect the ease of sourcing and lead times.
