Detailed Engineering Specifications

Trusted by engineers across multiple sectors, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet boasts a nominal thickness of 0.091 inches (2.31 mm), with precise dimensions of 21 inches (533 mm) in length and 43 inches (1092 mm) in width. The 316 alloy provides exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments, due to its higher molybdenum content compared to 304. This makes it highly suitable for marine, chemical processing, and food service applications where aggressive media is present. Its non-porous surface is inherently hygienic and easy to clean, a critical factor in janitorial and healthcare settings.
