Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this 0.060" thick stock sheet is fabricated from premium 316 stainless steel, known for its exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments. The precise dimensions of 40" in length and 17" in width offer a generous and stable surface ideal for calibration, layout work, and as a datum plane in inspection fixtures. The austenitic structure of 316 stainless steel also provides excellent formability and weldability, while its non-magnetic properties are advantageous in sensitive applications. Surface finish is maintained to tight tolerances to prevent interference with delicate measurements.
