View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

EASTERN STAINLESS Type 316 is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel. The molybdenum (2-3%) gives it the greatest resistance to pitting corrosion of any of the AISI standard grades of austenitic stainless steel. This extra measure of corrosion resistance makes this grade particularly suitable for uses involving severed corrosive conditions. In addition, Type 316 has high strength and high resistance to creep at elevated temperatures. Its many applications include the nuclear, chemical, food, paper and textile industries.
