Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 0.083 inches in thickness, with a nominal length of 44 inches and a width of 31 inches. Composed of Austenitic stainless steel, it exhibits superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich environments due to its higher molybdenum content. This makes it ideal for applications exposed to saltwater, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Its high tensile strength and formability allow for custom fabrication and secure structural support in critical infrastructure and marine hardware.
