TP 316 TP 316Ti, Stainless steel 316 is an austenitic, grade second only to 304 in, commercial importance. Type 316, contains molybdenum that gives, it improved corrosion resistance,, increased strength at elevated, temperatures and resistance to, pitting from chloride ion solutions., It has good resistance to oxidation, up to 900°C (1650°F). Type 316, has variety of uses especially in, marine applications due to the, materials high corrosion resistance., Type 316H has carbon content, between 0.04% - 0.10%.

This, makes the steel more suitable for, use in applications where elevated, temperatures are present. 316H, is sometimes used for structural, and pressure containing, applications at temperatures, above about 500°C (900°F)., Type 316L has the same,
