316 stainless steel plate

316 Stainless Steel Plate for Sale

316 is molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel, which increase general corrosion resistance, improves resistance to pitting from chloride ion solutions, and provides increased strength at elevated temperatures. The higher nickel and molybdenum content in this grade allows it to demonstrate better overall corrosion resistant properties than 304, especially with regard to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.

In addition, Alloy 316/ 316L provides excellent elevated temperature tensile, creep and stress-rupture strengths, as well as outstanding formability and weldability. 316L is the lower carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitization; therefore, it is very frequently used in heavy gauge welded components.
