316L Stainless Steel Plate/Sheet Details
Overview
316L stainless steel plate/sheet is a low-carbon version of the 316 austenitic stainless steel. It is renowned for its superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride and marine environments, and maintains excellent mechanical properties. This grade is often used in applications that require a high level of hygiene and cleanliness.
Key Characteristics
Corrosion Resistance: Offers exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride environments. It also performs well in acidic and alkaline environments.
Low Carbon Content: The low carbon content reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, which helps maintain corrosion resistance in welded structures.
Mechanical Properties: Exhibits high strength and toughness, even at cryogenic temperatures.
Formability: Easily formed and fabricated using a variety of processes including welding, machining, and forming.
Hygiene: Non-porous surface makes it easy to clean and sterilize, making it ideal for applications requiring strict hygiene standards.
Chemical Composition
Carbon (C): ≤ 0.03%
Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00%
Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.75%
Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045%
Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.03%
Chromium (Cr): 16.0-18.0%
Nickel (Ni): 10.0-14.0%
Molybdenum (Mo): 2.0-3.0%
Nitrogen (N): ≤ 0.10%
Common Applications
Marine Equipment: Ideal for use in marine environments, such as boat fittings, valves, and pump parts, due to its excellent resistance to seawater corrosion.
Chemical Processing: Used in chemical and petrochemical processing equipment where high resistance to corrosive chemicals is required.
Medical Devices: Suitable for medical implants and surgical instruments due to its biocompatibility and ease of sterilization.
Food and Beverage Industry: Employed in food processing equipment and storage tanks because of its non-reactive nature and ease of cleaning.
Pharmaceuticals: Utilized in pharmaceutical manufacturing and processing equipment where hygiene and corrosion resistance are critical.
Advantages
