Corrosion Resistance Excellent in a range of atmospheric environments and many corrosive media- generally more resistant than 304. Subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments, and to stress corrosion cracking above about 60°C. Considered resistant to potable water with up to about 1000mg/L chlorides at ambient temperatures, reducing to about 500mg/L at 60°C. 316 is usually regarded as the standard "marine grade stainless steel", but it is not resistant to warm sea water. In many marine environments 316 does exhibit surface corrosion, usually visible as brown staining. This is particularly associated with crevices and rough surface finish. Heat Resistance
Uri ng 316 ay isang austenitic chromiumnickel hindi kinakalawang na asero na naglalaman molibdenum.Karagdagan na ito ay nagdaragdag ng pangkalahatang kaagnasan paglaban, mapabuti ang paglaban sa pitting mula sa mga solusyon sa klorido Ion, at nagbibigay ng tumaas lakas sa mataas na temperatura.Mga Katangian ay katulad sa mga Uri ng 304 maliban na gawin ang haluang metal na ito ay medyo malakas sa mataas temperatura.
