Stainless steel 316 is commonly used in industrial applications involving processing chemicals, as well as high-saline environments such as coastal regions and outdoor areas where de-icing salts are common. Due to its non-reactive qualities, 316 stainless steel is also used in the manufacture of medical surgical instruments. As 304 and 316 stainless look practically identical, Stainless 316 will need to be analysed by one of our experts
