Detailed Engineering Specifications

A proven choice for industrial professionals, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet provides exceptional performance in demanding hydraulic applications. Measuring 0.277 inches thick, 27 inches in length, and 44 inches in width, its austenitic microstructure ensures excellent ductility and formability. The high molybdenum content in 316 grade stainless steel significantly enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments common in marine and chemical processing hydraulics. This material's inherent strength and low magnetic permeability also contribute to its suitability for high-pressure hydraulic manifold blocks and fluid power systems where reliability and longevity are paramount.
