Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 0.789 inches (20.04 mm) in thickness, 35 inches (889 mm) in length, and 23 inches (584 mm) in width. Composed primarily of chromium (16-18%), nickel (10-14%), and molybdenum (2-3%), 316 grade provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments. This makes it the preferred material for marine applications, chemical processing equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food service industries where hygiene and chemical inertness are paramount. Its excellent formability and weldability simplify complex fabrication processes.
