316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope

316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope

Description：

316 stainless steel wire rope is made up of 316 stainless steel material. It is the standard high corrosion resistant steel wire rope, and resistant to many chemicals. It has the best pitting resistance in marine and salt water and can be used in temperatures up to 480ºC (900ºF).Compared with 304 stainless wire rope, it has a better advantage in anti-corrosion. 316 stainless steel wire rope is usually used for coal, petroleum, metallurgy, chemical industry, shipbuilding, bridge, electric power, etc.

Structures of 316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope

A simple comparison of 304 and 316 stainless steel materials:

The 304 material, as the most common type, is magnetic with excellent corrosion resistance and strength compared with galvanized steel wire ropes. But it still corrodes in saltwater and moisture. If the steel wire rope you are going to purchase does not require strong corrosion resistance, 304 stainless steel wire rope is a more practical and economical option.

The 316 materials is the most corrosive resistant type and highly used in high corrosion environments and places with high salt spray. But the 316 material is about 10% less strength than 304 stainless steel. If the steel wire rope is constantly exposed to chemicals or the marine environment, 316 stainless is a better choice.
