Detailed Engineering Specifications

Purpose-built for heavy-duty applications, this 0.130-inch thick, 316 stainless steel stock sheet measures 21 inches in length and 17 inches in width. Grade 316 stainless steel, renowned for its superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, is achieved through the addition of molybdenum. This makes it ideal for environments exposed to chlorides, such as marine settings and chemical processing plants. Its excellent formability and weldability, coupled with high tensile strength, ensure structural integrity and adaptability for custom fabrication in industries like pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and offshore oil and gas.

Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the fabrication area is clean and free of contaminants that could compromise the stainless steel's passivation layer. 2. Precisely cut the sheet to the required dimensions using appropriate cutting tools designed for stainless steel. 3. Smooth any cut edges with a file or deburring tool to prevent stress concentration and ensure a clean finish.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or grinding.Always use tools specifically designated for stainless steel to prevent cross-contamination and the introduction of ferrous particles, which can lead to rust.
Neglecting proper edge finishing after cutting.Thoroughly deburr and smooth all cut edges to remove sharp points and potential sites for corrosion initiation.

Common Applications
