Premium 316 Stainless Steel Coil – Superior Corrosion Resistance for Marine & Chemical Applications

316 Stainless Steel Coil

The 316 Stainless Steel Coil is a premium austenitic stainless steel product that offers superior corrosion resistance, excellent strength, and outstanding performance in aggressive environments. Known for its high molybdenum content, 316 stainless steel provides better pitting and crevice corrosion resistance than 304, especially in chloride or marine environments.

316 Stainless Steel Coil is widely used in the marine, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, food-grade, and medical industries where high corrosion resistance and cleanliness are critical.


Key Feature

  • Enhanced Corrosion Resistance
    Superior resistance to chlorides, saltwater, acids, and harsh chemicals due to added molybdenum content.

  • Marine-Grade Performance
    Specifically designed for seawater, coastal environments, and applications exposed to chlorides.

  • Excellent Weldability
    Easily welded without compromising corrosion resistance, ideal for complex fabrications.

  • Outstanding Formability
    Excellent for deep drawing, bending, and forming into complex parts.

  • Smooth Surface Finish
    Perfect for sanitary, architectural, and aesthetic applications.

  • Long-Term Durability
    Minimal maintenance required for extended service life.
