Grade 316 is a popular stainless steel alloy belonging to the austenitic family. It is known for its 2-3% molybdenum content, making the alloy resistant to pitting and corrosion. It also improves its corrosion resistance on exposure to elevated temperatures. Type 316 is marine-grade stainless steel, and the presence of molybdenum makes it suitable for more saline or chloride-exposed environments.

Alloy 400 is a nickel-copper alloy, commonly known as MONEL, resistant to seawater and steam at high temperatures and salt and caustic solutions. It is distinguished by strong general resistance to corrosion, good weldability, and moderate to high strength. In several uses, the alloy has been used. It has outstanding tolerance to brackish water or seawater rushing rapidly. When de-aerated, it is highly resistant to hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. At room temperature, the metal is mildly magnetic. In the pharmaceutical, oil, and marine sectors, Nickel Alloy 400 Tubing is commonly used.
