We, Divine Metal & Alloys Austenitic stainless steels belonging to the 300 series, including grade 316 may have their chemistry modified. The modification to DIN 1.4436 Rectangular Pipe could be to either increase or decrease the content of carbon, or to increase the content of titanium or any other element. A gradual change in chemistry could, in turn, lead to an alteration in its mechanical properties. Most stainless steels are designed to perform in applications where they thrive despite the many stressors that occur in their environments.
