The addition of molybdenum improves resistance to chlorides and acidic environments, making 316 stainless steel highly resistant to rust, pitting, and general corrosion. This chemical composition ensures long-lasting performance in environments where other metals may deteriorate.

While 304 stainless steel shims are highly resistant to many environments, they may not perform well in highly acidic or chlorinated conditions. For such environments, consider other stainless steel grades better suited to these challenges.

316 stainless steel shims are widely used in industries such as marine, chemical processing, oil and gas, and food production due to their durability and corrosion resistance. They are ideal for environments requiring high-performance materials in harsh or aggressive conditions.

Typical applications include machinery alignment, precision adjustments in equipment assemblies, and spacing in construction projects. They are also essential for gaskets, sealing, and insulation in both small-scale and industrial operations.

Key benefits include exceptional corrosion resistance, high durability, and suitability for high-temperature and marine applications. These features make them a reliable choice for long-term use in extreme conditions without compromising structural integrity.

316 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides, making it ideal for harsher environments compared to 304. Its enhanced resistance to rust and durability make it the preferred choice for demanding applications.
