Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 0.544 inches in thickness, 48 inches in length, and 27 inches in width. Composed of austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel with added molybdenum, it exhibits superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments. This makes it ideal for applications requiring high strength, excellent formability, and long-term integrity where exposure to harsh chemicals or saline conditions is anticipated. Its inherent hygienic properties also lend themselves to sanitary installations.
