316L stainless steel plate is an alloy metal steel with excellent corrosion resistance, particularly pitting resistance due to the addition of Mo. It offers high temperature strength, excellent work hardening (weak magnetism after processing), and is non-magnetic in solid solution state.

Standard: ASTM A240

Delivery Condition: Cold Rolled or Hot Rolled

Surface Color: Cold-rolled plate has bright or silver-white smooth surface; hot-rolled plate has darker brown, rougher surface

Production Process: Hot-rolled plate offers strong ductility and plasticity for high-toughness applications; cold-rolled plate provides higher hardness and strength for mechanical processing applications

• Cold-rolled product has good gloss and beautiful appearance
• Excellent corrosion resistance, especially pitting resistance due to Mo content
• Superior high temperature strength
• Excellent work hardening (weak magnetism after processing)
• Non-magnetic in solid solution state
• Higher price relative to 304 stainless steel
• Applications: pipelines, heat exchangers, food industry, chemical industry, etc.

The main difference between 316L and 304 stainless steel is that 316L contains Mo, providing better corrosion resistance, especially in high temperature environments. However, 316L should not be used in concentrated sulfuric acid environments.

Key points:

• Mo provides high-temperature resistance properties
• Molybdenum reacts with high-valent sulfur ions to form sulfides
• No stainless steel offers universal corrosion resistance - material selection depends on specific application requirements

316L stainless steel is available in various finishes and thicknesses including: bright, polished, precision, 2B-side, 8K-side, 6K-side, BA-side, mirror, ultra-thin, medium-thick, thick, and ultra-thick stainless steel plates.

Due to its excellent performance characteristics, 316L stainless steel plate is widely used in:

• Petroleum and chemical industry: corrosion-resistant pipes, containers and equipment
• Marine engineering: marine platforms and ship components resistant to seawater corrosion
• Food and beverage processing: food processing equipment, containers and pipelines
• Medical field: medical devices and implants with good tissue compatibility
• Architecture and structure: applications requiring weather resistance and long lifespan
