For welded application both materials should be of the low carbon type (316L, 304L)

There are standards for flues, as they are critical saftey items. A limited number of high alloyed products are allowed.
The role of the Mo in the 316 is to increase the stability of the surface passive layer improving the resistance to pitting intitation.
