316 stainless steel coil is an austenitic stainless steel material with nickel, chromium, and molybdenum as the primary alloying elements.
The following is a detailed introduction:
Chemical Composition
The main components include iron, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. The chromium content is approximately 16% to 18%, the nickel content is approximately 10% to 14%, and the molybdenum content is 2% to 3%. This combination of elements gives it excellent performance.
Specifications
Common thicknesses range from 0.3 mm to 6 mm, and widths range from 1 to 2 meters. Lengths can be customized to meet the processing needs of various industries, such as pipelines, reactors, and food equipment.
Performance
• Strong corrosion resistance: The addition of molybdenum makes it more resistant to chloride ion corrosion than ordinary stainless steel, making it particularly suitable for harsh environments such as seawater and chemical environments.
• Excellent high-temperature resistance: Intermittent operating temperatures can reach 870°C and continuous operating temperatures can reach 925°C. It maintains excellent mechanical properties and oxidation resistance at high temperatures.
• Excellent Processability: It can be easily bent, roll-formed, welded, brazed, and cut using thermal and mechanical methods. Its austenitic structure provides excellent toughness and resists brittleness even at low temperatures.
• High Surface Quality: A variety of surface treatment options are available, including a smooth 2B surface suitable for precision instruments, a high-gloss BA surface suitable for decorative applications, and a mirror-like cold-rolled surface, meeting diverse aesthetic requirements.
Applications
It is widely used in chemical industry reaction vessels, marine engineering ship components, medical device implants, food processing equipment and containers, and high-end watch cases and bracelets, covering a wide range of applications with high corrosion risk and high performance requirements.
