What Is SUS316 Stainless Steel?
SUS 316 means that the steel is a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) designation for a specific type of stainless steel that includes molybdenum, making it highly resistant to corrosion, particularly from chlorides and acids. This makes it ideal for marine applications, chemical processing, and other environments exposed to corrosive conditions.
What is the difference between SUS316 and SS316?
There is no difference in the material composition; SUS316 and SS316 are just different designations for the same grade of stainless steel. "SUS" is the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) designation, while "SS" is the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) abbreviation, often used in North America.
Is SUS316 the same as SS316?
Yes, chemically and mechanically they are equivalent. The difference is mainly standard designation: SUS316 (JIS) vs SS316 (ASTM/AISI/EN).
