316L stainless steel plate
316L stainless steel plate information
316L stainless steel plate is a corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel with enhanced weldability due to its low carbon content. Its key properties include high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride environments, along with good strength and toughness. This makes it suitable for welding-intensive applications and industries, such as chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and marine environments.
What are the specifications for 316 stainless steel plate?
Grade 316 stainless steel plate has a minimum tensile strength of 75 ksi and a yield strength of 0.2% of 30 ksi. The elongation of 316 stainless steel plate is 40%. The Brinell hardness of 316 stainless steel plate is 217 and the Rockwell hardness is 95.

Heat Treatment
Annealing: Heat the 316L plate to 1010-1120°C, hold for a specified period, and then rapidly cool (typically using water or air).
Solution treatment: Heat the material to a specific temperature (typically 1010-1120°C) and then rapidly cool.
Stress relieving: Not applicable to 316L stainless steel.
Quenching and tempering: 316L is an austenitic stainless steel and is not typically quenched and tempered.
316L Plate Characteristics
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Strong resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments, and low carbon content prevents intergranular corrosion.
Good Weldability: Corrosion resistance is maintained without annealing after welding.
Excellent Formability: Easily cold-formed, suitable for manufacturing complex parts.
Excellent High and Low Temperature Performance: Maintains strength and toughness at both high and low temperatures.
Non-Magnetic: Non-magnetic in the annealed state, suitable for applications requiring magnetic properties.
Clean and Non-Toxic: The surface is easy to clean and meets food-grade standards.
