Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 0.365 inches in thickness, 47 inches in length, and 20 inches in width. Composed of 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum, 316 stainless steel exhibits superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich environments, acids, and alkalis compared to 304 grade. This makes it the material of choice for applications exposed to marine conditions, chemical processing, and high-salinity environments where long-term integrity is paramount.
