(SUS316) material belongs to the austenitic stainless steel family, similar to EN 1.4301 equiv.. It contains 18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2.5% molybdenum, exhibiting non-magnetic properties. Stainless steels, including austenitic 316, boast high corrosion resistance, preventing corrosion by forming a passive film on the surface. This passive film, created by the oxidation of chromium, acts as a protective cover, preventing iron oxidation. Given the chromium content, it is inherently corrosion-resistant, with a film forming when chromium surpasses 11%. Even if the film gets momentarily disrupted, it promptly reforms, ensuring sustained corrosion resistance and a minimal propensity for rusting.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c30c3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4c30c3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Features of EN 1.4401 Equiv (SUS316)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40ca607 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40ca607\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">EN 1.4401 EQUIV.
