Marine grade stainless
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marine grade stainless, or SAE 316 stainless steel is the second most common austenite stainless steel, preferred for use in marine environments for its greater resistance to pitting corrosion.[1][2] The steel can be used as well when non-magnetic metal is needed. The steel contains nickel, chromium and molybdenum metals.
While the steel is not completely rust-proof, the alloy is more resistant than household stainless steels. Another use for 316 steel is surgical steel which is made from subtypes of 316 stainless steel.
