ASTM A240 316L steel plate S31603 sheet coil strip

Compared to Types 302 and 304, 316 stainless steel has higher corrosion resistance and high creep strength. It has improved high temperature strength over 304 and exhibits excellent pitting resistance. Grade 316 is non-magnetic in the annealed state.

Type 304 and 316/316L stainless steel sheets are commonly used in the marine, chemical and food service industries because of the metal’s corrosion resistance and antimicrobial properties. Because Type 316 contains higher levels of nickel, it has better corrosion resistance than Grade 304, making it ideal for marine and environmental applications due to its resistance to saltwater corrosion. The addition of molybdenum improves general corrosion resistance, improves chloride pitting resistance, and strengthens the alloy at high temperatures. By controlling the addition of nitrogen, 316/316L can generally meet the mechanical properties of 316 pure steel while maintaining the low carbon content.
