316 Stainless Steel Plate

Walmay 316 stainless steel plate is an austenitic stainless steel containing 2.0–3.0% molybdenum.

It is produced through cold or hot rolling, with standard surface finishes including 2B and NO.1, and optional custom treatments such as 8K/10K mirror polishing or hairline brushing.

  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance

    Withstands 3.5% NaCl salt spray test for ≥1000 hours without rust spots, offering superior resistance to seawater and mild acid environments.

  • Quick Delivery from Stock

    Over 300 tons of standard specifications (0.5–6mm × 1219/1500mm) available for immediate dispatch.

  • Precision Quality Control

    Raw materials sourced from TISCO and Qingshan cold-rolled coils; thickness tolerance ±0.02mm (cold-rolled).

Product Applications

  • Marine Engineering

    Specification: 5mm × 1500 × 6000mm

    Case: Used in a port platform deck. The 316 hot-rolled NO.1 plate resisted seawater corrosion for 5 years with no rust, cutting maintenance costs by 60% compared to carbon steel.

  • Food Equipment

    Specification: 1.5mm × 1219 × 2440mm

    Case: Applied in juice sterilization tank liners. The 2B surface meets FDA standards, and Walmay’s passivation reduced bacterial growth rate by 90%.

  • Chemical Storage Tank

    Specification: 10mm × 2000 × 6000mm

    Case: Utilized for hydrochloric acid storage tanks. The hot-rolled plate resists 30% HCl corrosion, tripling lifespan versus 304 stainless steel.

  • Architectural Decoration

    Specification: 3mm × 1219 × 2440mm

    Case: Installed in hotel lobby wall panels with 8K mirror polish and 90% reflectivity. Seam alignment ≤0.5mm for premium aesthetics.

FAQs

What is the difference between 316 and 304 stainless steel plates?
316 contains 2–3% molybdenum, providing enhanced corrosion resistance against chloride and seawater compared to 304.
Can Walmay provide custom sizes or mirror finishes?
Yes. We support laser cutting, slitting (min width 50mm), and 8K/10K mirror polishing with a 7-day lead time.
How does 316 perform in salt spray environments?
It passes 3.5% NaCl salt spray testing for over 1000 hours with no visible rust, ensuring long-term durability in marine applications.
