316 stainless steel

316 and 317 stainless steel (317 stainless steel performance, see below) is a stainless steel containing molybdenum species. 317 stainless steel, molybdenum content slightly clever in 316 stainless steel. Because molybdenum steel, the steel is superior overall performance 310 and 304 stainless steel, high temperature conditions, when the concentration of sulfuric acid is less than 15% and above 85%, the 316 stainless steel has a wide range of uses. 316 stainless steel also has good resistance to chloride corrosion performance, it is usually used in the marine environment. The maximum carbon content of 0.03 316L stainless steel can not be annealed for maximum corrosion resistance and require the use of welding. Carried out in the temperature range of 1850-2050 ° annealed, then rapidly annealed and then rapidly cooled. 316 stainless steel can be hardened thermal treatment. 316 stainless steel has good weldability. All standard welding methods may be used for welding. Welding according to use, respectively 316Cb, 316L stainless steel or 309Cb filler rods or rod welding. For optimum corrosion resistance, Stainless Steel Wire welding section 316 need to be annealed after welding. If you use Stainless Steel Fishing Wire , does not require annealing after welding.
