Is 316 steel corrosion resistant?

• Type 316 is usable at moderate concentrations and temperatures. Bases Ammonium hy- droxide, sodium hydroxide, caustic solutions Steels in the 300 series generally have good corrosion resistance at virtually all concentrations and temperatures in weak bases, such as ammonium hydroxide.

Which is better 316 or 304?

• Type 316 contains slightly more nickel than Type 304, and 2-3% molybdenum giving it better resistance to corrosion than Type 304, especially in chloride environments that tend to cause pitting. Type 316 was developed for use in sulfite pulp mills because it resists sulfuric acid compounds.

What is Type 316 detergent used for?

• Synthetic detergents Type 316 is used for preheat, piping, pumps and reactors in catalytic hydrogenation of fatty acids to give salts of sulfonated high molecular alcohols. Tall oil (pulp and paper industry) Type 304 has only limited usage in tall-oil distillation service.
