Stainless Steel 316
A Unique Alloy for Harsh Conditions
Stainless Steel 316 is a corrosion-resistant alloy widely used in demanding environments. In German DIN standards, it is referred to as Steel 1.4401 and is known by its designation X5CrNiMo17-12-2. This non-magnetic Stainless Steel, commonly called 316 non-magnetic Stainless Steel, does not get attracted to magnets. It is particularly resistant to corrosion and rust, especially in chloride-rich environments, making it ideal for marine, chemical, and food industries.
Applications of Stainless Steel 316:
Heat exchangers
Food processing equipment, especially in chloride environments
Coastal architectural panels
Railing systems
Wire mesh and filtration components
Laboratory benches and equipment
Boat fittings
Chemical storage and transportation tanks
