Product Overview:

AISI 316 Stainless Steel Coil is a high-performance, corrosion-resistant material designed for use in industries where superior resistance to oxidation, pitting, and corrosion is required. The addition of molybdenum (Mo) to the alloy enhances its resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments, including marine, chemical, and high-temperature applications. AISI 316 is commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemical processing, and marine, where both durability and hygiene are crucial. Known for its excellent strength, formability, and weldability, AISI 316 Stainless Steel Coil is an essential material for demanding applications.

Unique Features:

AISI 316 Stainless Steel Coil is renowned for its excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, particularly in chloride-rich environments such as seawater and industrial chemicals. The addition of molybdenum improves the material’s resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, which makes it highly suitable for applications exposed to marine environments, chemical processing plants, and high-temperature settings. In addition to its corrosion resistance, AISI 316 provides high strength, excellent weldability, and superior formability, making it one of the most versatile and widely used stainless steel alloys in demanding industries.

Applications:

• Marine: Boat hulls, propeller shafts, seawater piping, and marine fasteners exposed to saltwater.
• Chemical Processing: Tanks, pipes, and valves for handling aggressive chemicals, acids, and other corrosive materials.
• Food and Pharmaceutical Industry: Equipment such as tanks, mixers, and conveyors, where hygiene and corrosion resistance are critical.
• Aerospace: Components exposed to high-temperature and corrosive environments, such as exhaust systems and structural parts.
• Architectural: Exterior cladding, facades, and handrails, where resistance to weathering is essential.
