Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet offers superior performance in corrosive and demanding environments. The 0.496" thickness provides significant structural integrity for heavy-duty applications. Composed of a chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy, 316 stainless steel exhibits excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-containing media, making it suitable for marine, chemical processing, and food-grade packaging. Its non-magnetic properties and high tensile strength further enhance its utility.
