ASTM 316 Alloy, ASTM 316Alloy Properties

ASTM 316 alloy is a molybdenum steel possessing improved resistance to pitting by solutions containing chlorides and other halides. In addition, this alloy provides excellent elevated temperature tensile, creep and stress - rupture strengths. 
Properties:
ASTM 316 alloy is more resistant to atmospheric and other mild environments than alloy 304. Alloy 316 is resistant to dilute solutions (i.e. 1-5%) of sulfuric acid up to 120 deg.F. However, in certain oxidizing acids, Type 316 is less resistant than Alloy 304. Alloy 316 is susceptible to carbide precipitation when exposed in the temperature range of 800 deg. - 1500 deg.F. and therefore is susceptible to intergranular corrosion in the as-welded condition.
Surface Finishes:
2B Finish—Smooth finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. The cold rolling is accomplished with polished rolls giving it a brighter finish than 2D.
2D Finish—Dull finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. Used for deep drawn parts and those parts that need to retain lubricants in the forming process.
BA Finish— Bright annealed cold rolled and bright annealed.
Application field:
Architectural applications such as windows and doors
Kitchen Equipment
Decorative applications
Sinks
Automotive trim
Railway cars
Trailers
Hose clamps
Medical equipment
