Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.694-inch thick sheet measures 27 inches in length and 48 inches in width. Composed of 316 stainless steel, it boasts excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, even in chloride-rich environments, due to its molybdenum content. This material exhibits superior weldability and formability, making it suitable for complex fabrications. Its high tensile strength and low thermal expansion coefficient ensure dimensional stability under extreme temperature fluctuations. The inherent non-magnetic properties at room temperature further enhance its utility in specialized settings.
