Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this 0.117" thick, 13" wide, and 39" long sheet is composed of 316 stainless steel. This alloy exhibits superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich environments compared to 304 stainless steel, due to the addition of molybdenum. Its excellent weldability and formability facilitate complex fabrications. Key mechanical properties include a yield strength of approximately 25 ksi and tensile strength of approximately 70 ksi at room temperature. It maintains integrity across a wide temperature range, suitable for marine, chemical processing, and food service industries.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to chlorides, acids, or high-salinity conditions to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Improper cleaning after fabrication.Thorough passivation and pickling are essential after welding or hot working to remove surface contaminants and restore the protective chromium oxide layer.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and components
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage processing machinery
  • Medical devices and implants

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May require specialized tooling for cutting and forming due to material hardness.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when grinding or welding.
