Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.878-inch thick stock sheet of 316 stainless steel offers a nominal length of 29 inches and a width of 28 inches. Composed primarily of iron, chromium (16-18%), nickel (10-14%), and molybdenum (2-3%), this grade exhibits excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-laden environments. The material's inherent strength and machinability make it suitable for demanding fabrication processes, including heavy-duty sawing and cutting, for applications requiring extended service life in marine, chemical processing, and food/beverage industries.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, and use a suitable cutting fluid to prevent overheating and tool wear.
Applying excessive force during cutting, leading to material deformation.Maintain consistent pressure and allow the cutting tool to do the work, adjusting feed rates as necessary to avoid binding or galling.

Common Applications

  • Industrial sawing and cutting operations
  • Chemical processing equipment fabrication
  • Marine and offshore structural components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection, when operating cutting machinery.
  • Ensure proper ventilation is present in the work area to dissipate fumes generated during cutting.
