Marine grade stainlessama-alloys ngokuvamile aqukethe i-molybdenum ukuze imelane nemiphumela elimazayo ye-NaCl noma usawoti emanzini olwandle. Ukugcwala kukasawoti emanzini olwandle kungahluka, futhi izindawo zokuchaphaza zingabangela ukugxila ukuthi kukhuphuke kakhulu kusukela kusifutho kanye nokuhwamuka.

I-SAE 316 insimbi engagqwali iyinsimbi ye-molybdenum-alloyed kanye neyesibili evame kakhulu i-austenitic stainless steel (ngemuva kwebanga lama-304). Iyinsimbi ekhethwayo esetshenziswa ezindaweni zasolwandle ngenxa yokumelana kwayo okukhulu nokugqwala komgodi kunamanye amabanga amaningi ensimbi ngaphandle kwe-molybdenum.^[1]Iqiniso lokuthi isabela ngokunganaki kukazibuthe kusho ukuthi ingasetshenziswa ezinhlelweni lapho kudingeka khona insimbi engeyona enozibuthe.
