Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 0.095 inches thick, 21 inches in length, and 17 inches in width. The material composition of 316 stainless steel provides exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, even in aggressive chemical environments, due to its molybdenum content. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring prolonged exposure to saltwater, acids, and other corrosive agents. Its excellent weldability and formability allow for intricate fabrication and complex designs without compromising structural integrity.
