SS 316/ 316L Plates Features

• » Superior Pitting Resistance: The addition of Molybdenum (2-3%) provides significantly better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-contaminated environments compared to Grade 304.
• » Dual Grade Certification: Combines the high mechanical strength of 316 with the extra-low carbon content of 316L, offering protection against sensitization during welding.
• » Marine Environment Stability: Known as "Marine Grade" stainless steel for its exceptional durability and corrosion resistance in salt-water and offshore applications.
• » High-Temperature Creep Strength: Exhibits better mechanical properties and higher creep resistance at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for pressure vessels and heat exchangers.
• » Excellent Weldability: Can be easily welded using all standard fusion methods; the 316L variant eliminates the need for post-weld annealing in heavy-gauge sections.
• » Hygienic & Pharmaceutical Grade: Its resistance to chemical cleaners and non-reactive surface makes it the global standard for medical implants and sterile pharmaceutical production.
• » Cryogenic Versatility: Maintains excellent toughness and structural integrity even at extreme sub-zero temperatures, suitable for liquid gas processing.
• » Non-Magnetic Nature: Remains essentially non-magnetic in the annealed condition, which is critical for specialized electronic housing and sensitive medical imaging equipment.
