Type 316 stainless steel is of great corrosion- and rust-resistant capability, for properties enhanced by the presence of molybdenum, making the 316 coil and strips are more corrosion-resistant as against 304 grade metal and are hence more useful in those situations where a metal may face rust due to high exposed environments such as chemical and salty waters. Coils or strips can then easily be cut and formed into different shapes for many different applications.
317 stainless steel is used where you need a metal that won’t rust or wear out easily.

T316 stainless steel is one of the best materials for tough environments, especially where rusting and corrosion is a serious problem. It is a well-known type of material used in boats, chemical factories, food production plants, medical devices, and outdoor construction. Owing to its hardness, rust-resistance, and durability, 316 stainless steel coils and strips provide a perfect solution for companies in need of high-quality and long-lasting material..
