316 Stainless Steel Sheet
Stellanox Steel supplies high-performance 316 Stainless Steel Sheets engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and strength in highly demanding environments. Known for its enhanced resistance to chlorides and acidic conditions, 316 stainless steel is widely used in marine, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food-grade applications.
With precision fabrication, consistent quality, and multiple surface finish options, 316 sheets are ideal for industries that demand long-term performance in harsh conditions.
What is 316 Stainless Steel Sheet?
316 Stainless Steel Sheet is a flat-rolled product made from austenitic stainless steel containing 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum. The addition of molybdenum significantly improves its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride environments.
It is available in a variety of thicknesses and finishes such as 2B, No.4 (brushed), and No.8 (mirror), making it versatile for structural, sanitary, and aesthetic purposes.
