316 stainless steel plate metal processing stainless steel plate

316L/316 stainless steel plate is a popular grade of stainless where superior corrosion resistance is of primary importance. 316 Stainless sheet is widely used in marine and highly acidic environments, underwater equipment, surgical tools, food and pharmaceutical applications.  The addition of molybdenum increases the corrosion resistance of 316 Stainless over the more economical 304 grade.  Metals Depot stocks an wide range of thicknesses of 316 sheet that can be purchased online in just the size you need. Give Us a call for additonal thicknesses, sizes and custom shapes. The density of 316 stainless steel 8.03 g/cm3, austenitic stainless steel generally use this value 316 chromium content (%) 16--18. Characteristics: due to the addition of Mo, its corrosion  resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength is particularly good, can be used under harsh conditions; 316 stainless steel plate Excellent work hardening (no magnetic); Excellent high temperature strength; The solution state is not magnetic; Cold rolled product appearance gloss is good, beautiful; Relative to 304 stainless steel, the price is higher. 316 stainless steel due to the addition of Mo element, so that its corrosion resistance, and high temperature strength has been improved, high temperature resistance can reach 1200-1300 degrees, can be used in harsh conditions. Uses: seawater equipment, chemical, dye, paper making, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment; Photography, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD bars, bolts, nuts. 410 characteristics: as a representative of martensitic steel, although high strength, but not suitable for use in harsh corrosion environment; Its machinability is good, according to the heat treatment surface hardening (magnetic). Application: blade, machine parts, petroleum refining device, bolt, nut, pump rod, class 1 tableware (knife and fork).
