316 Marine Grade Security Mesh

316 Marine Grade Security Mesh

316 Marine grade security mesh is similar to grade 304 with one notable exception. In addition to chromium and nickel, Marine Grade 316 contains 2% to 3% molybdenum, a hard silver-white metal element used to toughen steel and improve the corrosion resistance of nickel alloys.

The addition of this ingredient allows 316 Marine grade security mesh to have excellent corrosion resistance to other chrome-nickel steels when exposed to chemically corrosive substances such as seawater and brine solutions. Like Class 304, it is also durable, easy to manufacture, clean, solder and surface treated, but unlike Class 304, it provides better salt spray and brine protection.

316 Marine grade security mesh is also more resistant to solutions of sulfuric acid, chloride, bromide, iodide and fatty acids at elevated temperatures and is commonly used in industrial applications involving chemical processing. Due to its non-reactive nature, it is also used in the manufacture of medical surgical instruments and in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, and avoid excessive metal contamination.

Hope this article can help people to know the advantage of marine grade security mesh and choose suitable mesh when they have demand.
