Stainless Steel Alloy 416

Type 416 Stainless Steel is a popular, highly machinable, and inexpensive martensitic stainless steel that is free of machining. It is resistant to fresh water, acids, alkalis, and air, but has less corrosion resistance than austenitic steels. Type 416 is moreover the most machinable of all stainless steels. It comes in a variety of forms, including highly tempered, hardened, and unhardened.

Type 416 stainless steel is utilized in a vast array of industrial applications, including:

Pump shafts

Valve components

Parts for Automatic Screw Machine

Parts for washing machines

Cogs, screws, nuts, and studs

For a stainless steel to carry the Type 416 designation, it must have the following chemical composition:

Cr 12-14%

Mn 1.25% 

C 0.15% 

S 0.15%
