316 stainless steel sheet is a premium austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance, superior durability, and excellent formability. Distinguished by the addition of Molybdenum (Mo), 316 stainless steel offers significantly enhanced performance in corrosive settings, particularly against chlorides and acidic compounds, compared to standard 304 stainless steel. This makes it the material of choice for a wide range of industrial, marine, and architectural applications where reliability and longevity are paramount.

Our 316 stainless steel sheets are manufactured to strict international standards, ensuring consistent quality, precise dimensional tolerances, and a variety of finishes to meet your specific project requirements.

　　Key Features & Advantages

　　Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: The key differentiating element, Molybdenum (2-3%), drastically improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion caused by chlorides, saltwater, and industrial chemicals. This makes it ideal for marine and coastal applications.

　　High-Temperature Strength: Exhibits excellent oxidation resistance and retains superior mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for applications involving heat and thermal processing.

　　Excellent Formability and Weldability: The austenitic structure allows for easy fabrication, including bending, stretching, and deep drawing. It can be welded using all standard methods, with minimal risk of intergranular corrosion.

　　Hygienic and Easy to Clean: The non-porous, smooth surface prevents bacterial growth and is easily sanitized, meeting the stringent hygiene requirements of the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.

　　Aesthetic Appeal: Available in a range of finishes, from a classic mill finish to a highly reflective mirror polish, 316 sheet offers both functional performance and visual elegance for architectural and design projects.

　　Sustainability: 100% recyclable, contributing to environmentally conscious manufacturing and building practices.
