Stainless Steel 316 Sheets

SS 316 is a chromium and nickel-based alloy which is increasing the level of resistance with the help of different substances present in it. And with the addition of molybdenum, the alloy is having a specific corrosion resistance ability.

Stainless Steel 316L Sheets

SS 316L is a lower carbon content than the SS 316 version of the alloy. However, this is the way that the alloy is heat-treated with the use in the manufacturing of industrial used equipment. The alloy is having the desired carbon precipitation which is commonly welded.

The Difference Between SS 316 and 316L sheets

SS 316 Sheets and SS 316L Sheets are both grades of stainless steel, but there is a slight difference between the two. Stainless Steel 316 Sheets are a standard molybdenum-bearing grade with good corrosion resistance properties, while SS 316L Sheets is an extra-low carbon version of SS 316, which is used to minimize carbide precipitation during welding and improve resistance to intergranular corrosion.

Features of SS316/316L Sheets

SS316/316L sheets are made of austenitic stainless steel, which is a type of steel that is highly resistant to corrosion and staining. These sheets have several key features, including

Corrosion Resistance: SS316/316L sheets are highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation in a wide range of environments, including seawater, acidic and alkaline solutions, and high-temperature gases.

Heat Resistance: SS316/316L sheets have excellent heat resistance, making them suitable for use in high-temperature applications. They can withstand temperatures up to 870°C (1600°F) without losing their mechanical properties.

Strength and Durability: SS316/316L sheets are strong and durable, with high tensile strength and excellent toughness. They are also resistant to deformation and cracking under stress.

Easy to Fabricate: SS316/316L sheets are easy to fabricate using standard methods such as cutting, welding, and forming. They can be easily shaped into various shapes and sizes to meet specific requirements.

Hygienic and Sanitary: SS316/316L sheets are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries because they are easy to clean and maintain, and are highly resistant to corrosion and staining. They are also non-toxic and do not leach into food or medicines.

Low Carbon Content: SS316L sheets have a lower carbon content than SS316 sheets, making them more resistant to sensitization and corrosion in welded joints. This makes them ideal for use in applications where welding is required.

Applications of SS 316/316L Sheets

SS 316/316L sheets have a wide range of applications across various industries due to their excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, heat resistance, strength, and durability. Some of the common applications of SS 316/316L sheets include

  • Chemical and Petrochemical Industry: 
  • Food and Beverage Industry: 
  • Medical and Pharmaceutical Industry:
  • Marine Industry: 
  • Architecture and Construction Industry:
  • Aerospace Industry:
  • Automotive Industry:
  • Oil and Gas Industry and many more.
