Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet boasts a precise thickness of 0.349 inches, a length of 23 inches, and a width of 28 inches. The inherent properties of 316 stainless steel, including its enhanced molybdenum content, provide exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments. This makes it a superior choice for pneumatic applications subjected to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater exposure, ensuring longevity and preventing premature component failure. Its high tensile strength and ductility allow for complex fabrication processes crucial for custom pneumatic assemblies and housings.
