Stainless steel 316 is an austenitic alloy composed of 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, which provides excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine, chemical, and industrial environments. It is widely used in food-processing, medical, and marine equipment and is known for its durability and high oxidation resistance.

Stainless steel 316L is a low-carbon version (max. 0.03%), developed to prevent carbide precipitation during welding, which improves its resistance to intergranular corrosion. For this reason, it is ideal for tanks, piping, heat exchangers, and systems that undergo frequent welding or operate in highly corrosive environments.

Stainless steel 316Ti contains titanium added to its composition, which stabilizes carbon and increases the material’s mechanical and thermal resistance. This alloy is especially recommended for high-temperature applications such as furnaces, exhaust systems, petrochemical industries, and continuous processes where the material must maintain its properties during long periods of heat exposure.
