Molybdenum-containing stainless steel performance and use of large inventory

Stainless steel can be seen almost everywhere in our life, from POTS and pans in kitchen utensils to instruments and instruments in industrial production. However, when molybdenum is added to stainless steel, how will its performance and usage change?

Molybdenum-containing stainless steels mainly include 316 molybdenum-containing stainless steels, 316L molybdenum-containing stainless steels and 317 molybdenum-containing stainless steels. Next, let's look at the brand, performance and use of molybdenum-containing stainless steel.

Molybdenum containing stainless steel 316

In all kinds of water medium, such as distilled water, drinking water, river, boiler water, sea water, 316 molybdenum-containing stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance performance. Moreover, it has good resistance to chloride in the air and is resistant to Marine erosion. It is commonly used in the Marine environment, for example, as a choice material for buildings at sea and around the coast and equipment for use in seawater.

Molybdenum-containing stainless steel 316 is also used in the medical field and is designated as a can, pipe and heat exchange material for the production of pharmaceuticals. In addition, it is used for film processing equipment, lighting facilities, ropes, CD rods, bolts, nuts.

In the field of chemical industry, it has good corrosion-resistant performance, manufacturing chemical, dye, paper, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment. It is suitable for the food industry and almost becomes the standard material in the food and beverage industry.

316 molybdenum-containing stainless steel is generally 2% ~ 3% molybdenum-containing stainless steel with good corrosion resistance, workability and high temperature strength.

316L molybdenum-containing stainless steel

The molybdenum content of 316L stainless steel is generally 3% ~ 4%, and the maximum carbon content is 0.03%, while L means low carbon. As the low carbon series of 316 stainless steel, it has the same performance as 316 stainless steel, and its anti-grain boundary corrosion performance is more excellent. It has good properties of resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking and can be used in areas where annealing cannot be performed after welding and maximum corrosion resistance is required. For example: used in the Marine field, oil and gas industry, chemical processing industry, petrochemical industry, etc.

Molybdenum containing stainless steel 317

317 molybdenum stainless steel of the molybdenum content is 6% ~ 6%, was the most corrosion resistance of stainless steel, in the harsh and corrosive environment has excellent corrosion resistance and durability, is used in the chemical and petrochemical, oil and gas, power industry, and other applications, such as power plant condenser, submarine pipeline, industrial water pipes, the key components of nuclear power plant.

317 molybdenum-containing stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, which can be used in coastal environment, industrial pollution environment and other corrosive environment. The service life of the manufactured parts is significantly improved, the number of maintenance is reduced, thus saving the cost of life cycle, and can be recycled and reused.

317 molybdenum stainless steel is a kind of plastic material, good processing performance, ease of molding, machining and welding, and its good ductility, especially easy to install and modify, commonly used in buildings and structures, such as: building facade, roofing, curtain wall, roof, railings, swimming pool liner and accessory equipment and other kinds of street landscape, visor and sculpture.

The total performance of stainless steel with molybdenum is better than that of other grades of stainless steel. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel with chloride ion and pollutant will be enhanced, and it has better corrosion resistance to pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion, which is very useful for preventing corrosion caused by salt and corrosive pollutants. In addition, it is also environmentally friendly, can reduce the cost of use, is undoubtedly the ideal material choice.
