316 stainless steel because of the addition of Mo element, so that its corrosion resistance, and high temperature strength has been greatly improved, high temperature resistance can reach 1200-1300 degrees, can be used under harsh conditions.
Application: Seawater equipment, chemical, dye, paper making, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment;
Photographs, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD rods, bolts, nuts.
This is the most cost effective grade of steel. So the 316 Stainless Steel wire Price is lower compared to other grades of stainless steels and all metallic products in general. There are different versions of the material with low carbon and high carbon content. The low carbon version, 316 wire are very good for welding applications as they have less carbide precipitation and less localized corrosion.

Characteristic machining technology
1D -- The surface has discontinuous granular shape, also known as fog surface.
Processing technology: hot rolling + annealing shot peening pickling + cold rolling + annealing pickling.
2D - A slightly silvery white colour.
Processing technology: hot rolling + annealing shot peening pickling + cold rolling + annealing pickling.
2B -- Silver white with better gloss and flatness than a 2D surface.
Processing technology: hot rolling + annealing shot peening pickling + cold rolling + annealing pickling + quenching and tempering rolling.
Ba - Excellent surface gloss, high reflectivity, like a mirror surface.
Processing technology: hot rolling + annealing shot peening pickling + cold rolling + annealing pickling + surface polishing + quenching and tempering rolling.
No.3 -- Good gloss, coarse grain surface.
Processing technology: polishing and tempering rolling for 2D or 2B with 100~120 abrasive materials (JIS R6002).
No.4 -- Good gloss, fine lines on the surface.
Processing process: polishing and tempering rolling for 2D or 2B with 150~180 abrasive materials (JIS R6002).
HL -- Silver grey with hair streaks.
Processing technology: 2D products or 2B products with appropriate granularity of abrasive materials for polishing the surface is a continuous abrasive grain.
MIRRO -- Specular.
Processing technology: 2D products or 2B products with appropriate granularity of the grinding material grinding and polishing to the mirror effect.
