Cryogenic properties 304 versus 316
Cryogenic properties 304 versus 316
(OP)
I was wondering whether I could use 316 in lieu of 304 for low temp applications down to -196 C? I am trying to ban all 304 from our site for pitting resistance reasons but have been told we need 304 to achieve the required properties down at these temps. As far as I am aware 316 would be equal to the task?

There is no any difference between 304 or 316 as far as criogenic properties concerns. Both are equaly good at liquid nitrogen temperature (-196 deg C). Do some internet research on the topic of criogenic properties of the Austenitic Stainless Steel material, there's plenty..
