Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 0.763" in thickness, 15" in length, and 16" in width. Composed of a chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy, it exhibits superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in saline and acidic environments. This material integrity ensures extended service life in applications involving aggressive lubricants, high temperatures, and abrasive conditions. The inherent passivity of 316 stainless steel minimizes material degradation and contamination of lubricating fluids, critical for maintaining optimal equipment performance and longevity.
