316/316L Stainless Steel Plate
Stainless Metal Grades to Fit Your Needs
Like Grade 304 stainless steel, Grade 316 stainless steel plate is an austenitic grade popular in corrosion-resistant and product-purity applications. This alloy is a blend of chromium (16-18 percent), nickel (10-14 percent), molybdenum (2-3 percent), and a small amount of carbon. Adding molybdenum enhances several key material properties, including improved corrosion and chloride-pitting resistance and enhanced strength and toughness in elevated temperatures. This grade is the second most popular stainless steel grade after Grade 304.
Grade 316L stainless steel plate is a lower carbon version of its regular counterpart, which makes it the most corrosion-resistant grade of stainless steel. Like Grade 304, both versions of Grade 316 are non-magnetic and do not require post-weld annealing. Along with 316/316L stainless steel plate, Sabre Alloys also offers 316 and 316L bar.
