316 stainless steel (06Cr17Ni12Mo2) is a typical and commonly used austenitic stainless steel. In dilute reducing media such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and acetic 

acid, formic acid, sea water and other media, the corrosion resistance is better than that of 304 stainless steel without molybdenum . 

316 stainless steel is generally used as a pitting-resistant material.

1. 316 stainless steel has good cold and hot processing properties, good thermoplasticity, low overheating sensitivity, and the suitable hot processing temperature is 

900-1200 degrees Celsius. Due to the high content of molybdenum in steel, its deformation resistance is significantly higher than that of 304 and 304L stainless steel.
