Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 0.159 inches in thickness, 25 inches in length, and 17 inches in width. Composed of austenitic stainless steel with molybdenum, it offers enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments. This makes it exceptionally suitable for hydraulic manifold blocks, pump housings, and valve bodies where fluid compatibility and environmental resilience are paramount. The material's excellent formability and weldability further contribute to its utility in custom hydraulic component fabrication.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tooling which can lead to galling and contamination.Employ specialized carbide or cobalt-HSS tooling designed for stainless steel machining, along with adequate lubrication.
Insufficient post-machining cleaning, leaving abrasive particles that can damage hydraulic components.Implement a multi-stage cleaning process, including solvent washes and ultrasonic cleaning if necessary, followed by thorough inspection.

Common Applications
