Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.650" thick 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 15" in length and 47" in width. Composed primarily of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, 316 stainless steel exhibits excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-containing environments. This makes it an ideal choice for applications involving saltwater, chemicals, and high-temperature exposure. Its non-magnetic nature and inherent antimicrobial properties further enhance its suitability for specialized industrial processes and equipment fabrication.
