Mechanical Properties of 316 Stainless Steel for Foreign Trade Products

Q1: What is the tensile strength of 316 stainless steel? A1: The tensile strength of 316 stainless steel is about 580MPa, which is higher than that of 304 stainless steel (520MPa), and has better mechanical strength.

Q2: What is the low-temperature toughness performance of 316 stainless steel? A2: It has excellent low-temperature toughness, which can still maintain toughness at -253℃, while 304 stainless steel will become brittle at -196℃.

Q3: Can 316 stainless steel be hardened by heat treatment? A3: No, 316 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel, which cannot be hardened by heat treatment; its mechanical properties can only be adjusted by cold working.

Q4: What is the density of 316 stainless steel? A4: The density of 316 stainless steel is 7.98g/cm³, which is the same as that of ordinary austenitic stainless steel, and it is easy to calculate the weight of products in foreign trade transactions.

Q5: What is the high-temperature stability of 316 stainless steel? A5: It can maintain a stable austenitic structure at 800℃, and has good oxidation resistance when used intermittently at 870℃ and continuously at 925℃.
