What is Stainless Steel 316 Sheet?
Austenitic, Molybdenum bearing alloy grade 316 Stainless Steel sheets as compared to the popular grade 304 tends to offer superior resistance to general corrosion as well as pitting and crevice corrosion.

Furthermore, in comparison to the more conventional chromium-nickel based stainless steels such as Alloy 304, the ASTM A240 Type 316 plate also offers a much higher creep strength. In fact, the high creep strength of SA 240 Gr 316 SS in combination with a higher stress-to-rupture property along with good tensile strength is the reason why ASTM A240 316 SS strips could be used at elevated temperatures.
With a shear strength of 50,000 psi and yield strength of 44 KSI, the SS Werkstoff No 1.4401 / 1.4436 can be made with a standard thickness ranging from 4.8 mm up to 152.4 mm. Not forgetting to mention the melting point of AISI 316 UNS S31600 which is between 2450 – 2630°F
What is ASTM A240 Grade 316 Plate?
Well suited to be used in pressure vessels as well as general applications, the components such as coils, strip, sheet and the SUS 316 plate are to conform to the requirements pertaining to its mechanical and chemical composition
