316L Stainless Steel Sheet Plates

Introduction of 316L Stainless Steel Sheet Plate

316L stainless steel is a low-carbon variant of 316 stainless steel, which is an austenitic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and fabricability. The "L" in 316L stands for "low carbon," indicating that it contains a maximum of 0.03% carbon, which helps to minimize the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, thereby improving its weldability.

Do you Know What Is 316l Stainless Steel Sheet ?

316L stainless steel is a low-carbon variant of 316 stainless steel, which is an austenitic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and fabricability. The "L" in 316L stands for "low carbon," indicating that it contains a maximum of 0.03% carbon, which helps to minimize the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, thereby improving its weldability.

The Stainless Steel 316L Plate can be described as a part of the austenitic grade of stainless steel. It contains a high level of nickel, which increases the corrosion resistance capabilities of double plated stainless steel (316l) over the 304 or 304L ss grades. The SS 316l plate contains excellent mechanical properties and they are able to retain their performances even at sub-zero temperatures. Apart from atmospheric corrosion, the SS 316l Sheet can also resist chloride related stress corrosion cracking and that is why they are perfect for various marine applications.

Composition of 316L Stainless Steel Sheet Plate

The primary alloying elements in 316L stainless steel include

  • Chromium (Cr): 16-18%
  • Nickel (Ni): 10-14%
  • Molybdenum (Mo): 2-3%
  • Manganese (Mn): Maximum 2%
  • Silicon (Si): Maximum 0.75%
  • Phosphorus (P): Maximum 0.045%
  • Sulfur (S): Maximum 0.03%
  • Carbon (C): Maximum 0.03%

Do You Know What is 316L Stainless Steel Sheet Plate Price per KG ?

As the global market becomes more competitive, finding the right price per kg for SS 316L sheets can be difficult. Typically, the price per kg for SS 316L sheets ranges from INR 228 to INR 280. However, depending on the supplier and size requirements, the cost can vary significantly. Notably, many suppliers are willing to offer significant discounts for bulk orders. Hence, to ensure you get the best price, it is important to compare prices from multiple suppliers before finalizing your purchase. Additionally, there are many different grades available, including those designed specifically for certain industries and applications, which can make the cost per kg even higher, so choosing the right grade is important.

Applications of 316L Stainless Steel Sheet Plate

316L stainless steel sheet plates are used in a wide range of applications due to their superior properties

  • Marine Environments: Due to its resistance to seawater and salt spray.
  • Chemical and Petrochemical Industries: For storage tanks, process equipment, and piping systems.
