What is 316 Stainless Steel? 316L stainless steel is a high-carbon, low-nickel, molybdenum-enhanced stainless steel. Often referred to as marine-grade stainless steel, it is an excellent choice for the food and beverage industry, as well as in marine environments. It exhibits high tensile strength, as well as high heat and corrosion resistance. The chromium in 316L stainless steel reacts with oxygen in saltwater to form chromium oxide, which prevents the formation of rust on the surface of the metal. Molybdenum increases the corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel by preventing pitting in areas of heavy use. What is 904L Stainless …
