Tipo 316/ 316L/316H are austenitic stainless steel intended for use in applications that require high strength, toughness and workability, as well as enhanced corrosion resistance. Compare to 304 aço inoxidável, 316 contains a higher percentage of molybdenum (Mo 2%-3%) e níquel (Em 10% para 14%), Molybdenum has better overall corrosion resistance, especially for pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.
