Principal Design Features
Type 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides improved resistance to pitting and corrosion in many chloride-containing environments compared with Type 304. Type 316L has a lower carbon content and is commonly selected for welded applications where reducing the risk of carbide precipitation is important.
