Tipo 316 is a type of stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in harsh environments. It contains molybdenum, which enhances its ability to withstand pitting and crevice corrosion, making it ideal for marine applications and chemical processing. This alloy is commonly used in various industries, including construction, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. Its durability and strength make it suitable for manufacturing equipment, piping, and structural components that require long-lasting performance in challenging conditions.
