316 Stainless Steel Pipe
316 stainless steel pipe is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel pipe that offers superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 grades. The molybdenum addition (2-3%) provides enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments, making it suitable for more aggressive chemical and marine applications.

SURFACE CHARACTERISTIC SUMMARY OF MANUFACTURING METHOD APPLICATION
NO.1 Silvery white Hot rolled to specified thickness Do not need to have a glossy surface use
lackluster
NO.2D Silvery white After cold rolling, heat treatment and pickling are carried out General material, deep material
NO.2B Gloss is stronger than No.2D After No.2D treatment, the final light cold rolling is carried out through the polishing roller The general material
BA As bright as a sixpence No standard, but usually a bright annealed surface with high reflectivity. Building materials, kitchen utensils
NO.3 Rough lapping Grind with 100~200# (unit) strop tape Building materials, kitchen utensils
NO.4 Intermediate grinding Polished surface obtained by grinding with 150~180# strop abrasive tape Building materials, kitchen utensils
NO.240 Fine lapping Grinding with 240# strop abrasive tape kitchenware
NO.320 Very fine grinding Grinding was carried out with 320# strop abrasive tape kitchenware
NO.400 The luster is close to BA Use 400# polishing wheel to grind General timber, building timber, kitchen appliances
HL Hairline grinding Suitable particle material for hair stripe grinding (150~240#) with many grains Building, construction material
NO.7 It's close to mirror grinding Use a 600# rotary polishing wheel to grind For art or decoration
NO.8 Mirror ultrafinish The mirror is ground with a polishing wheel Reflector, for decoration
