The main uses of 316 stainless steel strips are heat exchangers for pulp and paper equipment, dyeing equipment, film processing equipment, pipelines, and materials for building exteriors in coastal areas. In 2013, it was also used in the field of solenoid valves. It is mainly used for housings, clamps, spheres, valve bodies, valve seats, nuts, stems, etc.
Stainless steel is a general name for stainless steel and acid-resistant steel. Stainless steel is steel that is resistant to corrosion by weak media such as the atmosphere, steam, and water, while acid-resistant steel is steel that is resistant to corrosion by acids, alkalis, salts, and other chemically-etched media. According to the organizational structure, it is divided into four categories: Markov stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, and austenite plus ferrite duplex stainless steel.
According to the main chemical composition of steel or some of the characteristic elements in steel, it can be divided into chromium stainless steel, chromium-nickel stainless steel, chromium nickel-molybdenum stainless steel, low carbon stainless steel, high-molybdenum stainless steel, and high-purity stainless steel.
According to the performance characteristics of the steel and the use of classification, is divided into nitric acid-resistant stainless steel, sulfuric acid-resistant stainless steel, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and high-strength stainless steel. Classified according to the functional characteristics of steel, divided into low-temperature stainless steel, non-magnetic stainless steel, free-cutting stainless steel, and superplastic stainless steel.
The commonly used classification methods in 2013 are classified according to the characteristics of the steel structure the chemical composition of steel and the combination of the two. Generally divided into martensitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, and precipitation hardening stainless steel, or divided into two categories of chromium stainless steel and nickel stainless steel.
