316L stainless steel plate and coil

Product Overview

316L stainless steel plate and coil are highly sought-after materials renowned for their exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich and marine environments. As a low-carbon version of 316, 316L offers improved weldability and reduced risk of intergranular corrosion. Available in both plate and coil forms, it provides flexibility for fabrication, cutting, and forming in various industrial and architectural applications.

Material Properties

• Excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion due to molybdenum content
• Low carbon content enhances resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding
• Superior performance in marine, chemical, and food-grade environments
• Non-magnetic in annealed condition
• Outstanding formability and processability

FAQs

Q: Do you supply both 316L stainless steel plate and coil?

A: Yes, we supply 316L in both plate and coil forms, with customized sizes and surface finishes available.

Q: What is the difference between 316 and 316L?

A: 316L has lower carbon content, which provides better weldability and reduces the risk of corrosion in the heat-affected zones of welds.

Q: What are your coil processing capabilities?

A: We offer coil slitting, surface polishing, edge trimming, and custom coil-to-sheet cutting services.

Q: How do you package the coils for export?

A: Coils are wrapped with waterproof paper, edge protected, strapped with steel bands, and loaded on wooden or steel pallets for secure transport.

Q: Can you offer small batch orders or trial samples?

A: Yes, we support flexible MOQ and welcome trial orders for new customers.
