50% caustic has good compatibility with 316 SS, but if you have the choice 304 SS and carbon steel are slightly better. All three are probably better than glass lined steel.
410 is a harder SS and it is readily harden-able as well! However, it has less corrosion resistance then 316.
An SS-1h emulsion is an anionic emulsion which means that the asphalt globules are electro negatively charged. the "SS" indicates a "slow setting" emulsion the "h" indicates a harder base asphalt was used
They're both good, but consider going with SS 316.

what the difference between ss316 and ss316l

The difference between SS 304 and SS 316 gasket rings primarily lies in their chemical composition, corrosion resistance, and suitability for different environments. SS 304 is the most commonly used stainless steel grade for gasket rings. It contains chromium (18%) and nickel (8%), offering good corrosion resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. SS 304 gasket rings are widely used in general industrial applications, including water systems, mild chemical environments, and standard pressure conditions. However, they are not ideal for highly corrosive or chloride-rich environments, as they may be prone to pitting and rust over time. On the other hand, SS 316 gasket rings are an upgraded version with the addition of molybdenum (2–3%), which significantly enhances their corrosion resistance. This makes SS 316 especially suitable for harsh environments such as marine applications, chemical processing industries, and areas exposed to chlorides, acids, or high humidity. SS 316 gasket rings also perform better under extreme temperatures and aggressive operating conditions. In terms of cost, SS 316 is generally more expensive than SS 304 due to its superior properties. However, the investment is justified when long-term durability and resistance to corrosion are critical. Choosing between SS 304 and SS 316 depends on the application requirements. For standard conditions, SS 304 is sufficient, while SS 316 is preferred for demanding and corrosive environments.

As of my last update, the price of stainless steel scrap, including SS 316 and SS 304, can fluctuate based on market demand, location, and other factors. Generally, SS 316 tends to command a higher price than SS 304 due to its increased corrosion resistance and nickel content. Prices can range from $0.50 to $2.00 per pound, but it's best to check with local scrap yards or market reports for current rates.
CF8M and SS 316 are not identical but are closely related. CF8M is a casting designation for stainless steel that is equivalent to ASTM A351 Grade CF8M, which is a type of austenitic stainless steel often used for valves and fittings. SS 316, or ASTM A276/Austenitic stainless steel 316, is a wrought material commonly used in various applications. Both contain similar alloying elements, but their properties can differ due to their manufacturing processes.
