JESSOP Type 316 is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel with greatly increased resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in comparison with AISI Type 304 stainless steel. In addition, Jessop Type 316 offers superior creep, stress-to-rupture and tensile strengths at elevated temperatures. Type 316 is suitable for a wide range of applications in chemical and petroleum processing, power plants, pollution-control equipment, pulp and paper plants and food and pharmaceutical processing.
