Precision 316L Stainless Steel Sheet

Precision 316L Stainless Steel Sheet is a general-purpose martensitic stainless steel containing a nominal 12% chromium. This grade provides balanced corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength after thermal processing. Unlike austenitic grades (such as 304), 316L is magnetic in both annealed and hardened conditions and responds directly to heat treatment to achieve specific hardness and wear resistance levels.

Supplied in accordance with international ASTM and ASME manufacturing standards, our plates serve industrial applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance combined with high tensile strength and impact toughness.

 

 

High Hardenability: Achieves high mechanical strength and wear resistance through quenching and tempering.

 

Corrosion Resistance: Performs adequately in mild atmospheres, fresh water, organic acids, and mild chemicals (not recommended for severe chloride or marine environments).

 

Magnetic Properties: Fully magnetic across all structural conditions.

 

Machinability: Readily machinable in the annealed condition; highly resistant to machining post-heat treatment.

 

Weldability: Air-hardening characteristics require strict pre-heating (150°C to 260°C) and post-weld annealing to prevent micro-cracking.
