What is 316?

316 (UNS S31600): 16–18% Cr, 10–14% Ni, 2–3% Mo. Mechanical guide: min tensile ~515 MPa (75 ksi), min yield ~205 MPa (30 ksi) typical — confirm PO.

Typical applications

  • Chemical and petrochemical process piping
  • Coastal / marine-adjacent utilities (within 316 limits)
  • Pharma and food where Mo-bearing stainless is specified
  • Pulp & paper and chloride-bearing waters (screening still required)

Selection guidance

Default Mo-bearing choice for chloride service below duplex. Prefer 316L for heavy welds; 316H / 316Ti for elevated temp / stabilised needs.

316 vs 304: Mo improves pitting. 316 vs 316L: carbon for weld sensitization. Dual-cert 316/316L is common — check high-temp eligibility.
