Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.826" thick stock sheet measures 31" in length and 46" in width. Composed of 316 stainless steel, it exhibits excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion due to its molybdenum content, making it suitable for highly corrosive environments. The material's inherent lubricity and smooth surface finish minimize friction and wear in mechanical systems. This sheet is engineered for applications requiring robust material integrity and long-term performance under demanding industrial conditions, including bearing housings, guide rails, and pump components in chemical processing and marine environments.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, which can lead to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools to prevent cross-contamination and maintain material integrity.
Failing to deburr edges after cutting, which can create sharp hazards and compromise smooth operation.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to ensure a safe and functional finish.

Common Applications

  • Lubrication system manifold fabrication
  • Custom bearing housing construction
  • Corrosion-resistant guide rail manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and processing stainless steel.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or grinding to avoid inhalation of metal dust.
