What Are Stainless Steel 316/316L Sheets?
Stainless Steel 316 Sheets and 316L Sheets belong to the austenitic family of stainless steels, containing molybdenum, which significantly enhances their corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and acidic environments.
316 Stainless Steel Sheet: Contains ~2–3% molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance.
316L Stainless Steel Sheet: A low-carbon version of 316, better for welding with reduced risk of carbide precipitation.
These sheets are available in hot rolled, cold rolled, and perforated options, in various finishes like 2B, No.4, and BA, depending on the application.
