Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Sheet (Grade 316/316L)

Marine-grade 316/316L stainless steel sheets offer superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, thanks to added molybdenum. Ideal for marine, chemical, and medical applications, these sheets provide durability, weldability, and resistance to chlorides and acids. Available in multiple finishes and dimensions.

Rating:
Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Sheet (Grade 316/316L)
Grade 316/316L stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy enhanced with 2-3% molybdenum, significantly improving its resistance to corrosive environments, particularly chlorides (e.g., seawater) and acidic solutions. The 316L variant has a lower carbon content (≤0.03%), minimizing carbide precipitation during welding, making it ideal for welded structures.This marine-grade steel is non-magnetic in annealed form and excels in pitting/crevice corrosion resistance. Common applications include marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, medical implants, and architectural facades. Its high formability, strength, and hygienic surface make it suitable for food processing and pharmaceuticals.
