Unique Features:

316 Stainless Steel Rod is recognized for its excellent resistance to corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments. The addition of molybdenum enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it ideal for use in harsh marine and chemical environments. With high strength and toughness, it maintains its performance even at elevated temperatures. Its ease of fabrication and ability to resist oxidation make it perfect for applications in industries like pharmaceutical, food processing, and marine engineering. Additionally, the material is non-magnetic in the annealed condition, ensuring its suitability for various sensitive applications.
