316L hot-rolled stainless steel plate is a molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel that offers superior corrosion resistance to 304 stainless steel and has good weldability. The addition of molybdenum significantly enhances 316L stainless steel’s resistance to pitting and chloride corrosion, making it suitable for applications requiring durable and reliable materials. 316L stainless steel plates are widely used in the petrochemical and environmental protection industries for industrial equipment such as towers, tanks, vessels, and piping.

Product Description
This plate is manufactured by a hot rolling process and supplied in an annealed condition. With a nominal thickness of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a nominal size of 36 inches × 8 feet (914.4 mm × 2438.4 mm), it is suitable for heavy-duty fabrication, chemical processing, marine equipment, industrial machinery, pressure-related equipment, and other demanding applications.
Product Features
Corrosion Resistance: Superior to 304 stainless steel, with particularly outstanding performance in marine environments, chemical processing, papermaking, and environments containing chloride ions.
High-Temperature Resistance: Exhibits good oxidation resistance during intermittent use below 1600°C and continuous use below 700°C; its low-carbon design reduces carbide precipitation at high temperatures.
Weldability: 316L can be welded using all standard welding methods and retains its corrosion resistance without requiring post-weld annealing.
Mechanical Properties: Hot-rolled sheets offer high strength and good work hardenability; they are non-magnetic in the solution-treated condition but exhibit weak magnetism after processing.

The production process generally includes:
Steelmaking → AOD Refining → Continuous Casting → Slab Heating → Hot Rolling → Annealing → Pickling → Straightening → Cutting → Inspection
Hot Rolled
Hot rolling is suitable for producing relatively thick stainless steel plates. It provides an efficient manufacturing route for heavy-gauge products such as the 1-inch-thick 316L plate.
Annealed
Annealing is performed to restore ductility and achieve the required metallurgical condition after rolling. It helps improve the material's formability and overall stability.
No.1 Surface
Hot rolled stainless steel plate is commonly supplied with a No.1 finish, typically produced through hot rolling followed by heat treatment and descaling/pickling. The surface is generally matte and less reflective than cold-rolled 2B or BA finishes.

| UNS | S31603 | S30400 |
| Chromium | 16–18% | 18–20% |
| Nickel | 10–14% | 8–10.5% |
| Molybdenum | 2–3% | No intentional Mo addition |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Very Good |
| Pitting Resistance | Better | Lower |
| Weldability | Excellent | Excellent |
| Carbon | ≤0.030% | ≤0.070% |
| Typical Cost | Higher | Lower |
| Marine Applications | Excellent choice | Limited depending on environment |
316L is generally preferred when improved chloride, pitting, and crevice corrosion resistance is required.

What is the size of this 316L stainless steel plate?
The nominal size is 36 inches wide × 8 feet long, equivalent to approximately 914.4 mm × 2438.4 mm.
What is the thickness?
The plate is 1 inch thick, equivalent to 25.4 mm.
Is this 316L plate hot rolled?
Yes. This product is specified as a hot rolled 316L stainless steel plate and is supplied in an annealed condition.
What does annealed mean?
Annealed means the stainless steel has undergone controlled heat treatment designed to restore ductility and achieve the required metallurgical condition after processing.
What is the typical surface finish?
A hot rolled 316L stainless steel plate is commonly supplied with a No.1/pickled surface, depending on the specified delivery condition.
Is 316L better than 304 stainless steel?
316L generally offers better resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion because it contains molybdenum. The appropriate grade depends on the service environment and design requirements.
Is 316L stainless steel magnetic?
Annealed 316L is generally non-magnetic. However, cold working can produce some magnetic response.
Can 1-inch-thick 316L plate be welded?
Yes. 316L has excellent weldability. For heavy plate, the welding procedure should be selected according to thickness, joint design, service conditions, and applicable codes.
