Stainless Steel Sheet 316 Grade

Alloy 316 316l is molybdenum bearing austenitic stainless steel.

Stainless steel sheet 316 grade.

We maintain the widest stock of astm a240 type 316 material and provide cut to size astm a240 tp 316 sheets of jindal and posco make. After 304 stainless steel it is the second most widely used steel mainly used in food industry and surgical equipment. In addition 430 stainless is ferritic straight chromium non hardenable grade commonly used in automotive trim and appliance components. 316 316l stainless steel sheet is a popular grade of stainless where superior corrosion resistance is of primary importance.

Grade 316 is a member of the 18 8 chromium nickel family of austenitic stainless steels with an addition of 2 molybdenum for improved corrosion resistance particularly to localised corrosion in chloride containing environments. 316 stainless steel 316 grade is the second most common form of stainless steel. Additional available stainless sheet metal grades include 201 304l and 316l. It has better temperature resistance than 304 stainless steel.

It has almost the same physical and mechanical properties as 304 stainless steel and contains a similar material make up. The very tough and ductile austenitic structure gives grade 316 excellent formability and fabrication characteristics. Aesteiron is specialist in food grade 316 stainless steel sheet and supply to renowned food processing industries in more than 25 countries. It belongs to the general model which is 18 8 stainless steel.

Another popular grade is 316 stainless steel which is used in applications where additional corrosion resistance is required. Composition ranges for 316 grade of stainless steels. These properties are specified for flat rolled product plate sheet and coil in astm a240 a240m. Similar but not necessarily identical properties are specified for other products such as pipe and bar in their respective specifications.

316 restaurant grade industrial stainless steel sheets the small percentage of molybdenum in 316 stainless steel makes this metal more heat and corrosion resistant than grade 304 with a better ability to resist pitting and crevice decay in tougher working environments. The key difference is that 316 stainless steel incorporates about 2 to 3 percent molybdenum. 316 stainless sheet is widely used in marine and highly acidic environments underwater equipment surgical tools food and pharmaceutical applications. Grade 316 is an improved version of cs 304 with the addition of molybdenum and a slightly higher nickel content.
