Commodity name: Stainless Steel 316,316L,316H

Product introduction

316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistant properties than 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. It is readily brake or roll formed into a variety of parts for applications in the industrial, architectural, and transportation fields. 316 also has outstanding welding characteristics. Post-weld annealing is not required when welding thin sections.
316L, the low carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation). Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm).
316H, with its higher carbon content has application at elevated temperatures, as does stabilised grade 316Ti.
The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.

Possible Alternative Grades

Grade	Why it might be chosen instead of 316?
316Ti	Better resistance to temperatures of around 600-900 °C is needed.
316N	Higher strength than standard 316.
317L	Higher resistance to chlorides than 316L, but with similar resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
904L	Much higher resistance to chlorides at elevated temperatures, with good formability
2205	Much higher resistance to chlorides at elevated temperatures, and higher strength than 316

Packaging

The company's products are packaged and labeled according to regulations and customer requirements. Take care to avoid any damage that may occur during storage or transportation. In addition, clear labels are attached outside the package to facilitate identification of product ID and quality information.

1. Wooden case packing, PVC packing, etc.

2. Standard seaworthy packing machine customized

3. Port any port in China

In order to better ensure the safety of your goods, we will provide professional, environmentally friendly, convenient and efficient packaging services.

Stainless steel pipes are often packed and transported in bags, boxes or protective containers. Stainless steel conduits with an outer diameter greater than 6 inches can be transported in bulk, packed or not. The length, outer diameter, wall thickness, finish and transportation method determine the optimal packaging method. Most polishing tubes are packed in wooden cases or boxes made of other suitable materials.

It is necessary to bundle stainless steel pipes, because excessive quantities of stainless steel pipes during transportation may lead to risks such as bending, extrusion deformation or twisting of pipes during transportation. In addition, some other auxiliary measures need to be taken during baling. Flat steel wire belt is generally used for binding, but other suitable materials can also be used. The number of fixed knots depends on the length and weight of the bale.

1. Automobile industry

Stainless steel plate not only has high corrosion resistance, but also has light weight, which is very important in automobile manufacturing. A large number of stainless steel plates are required for the manufacturing of automobile shells, and many international famous cars are now beginning to use stainless steel plates as the structural materials of automobiles. Even in high-speed railway, subway and other aspects, stainless steel plate is also widely used.

2. Water storage and transportation

Water has high requirements on the environment during storage. Stainless steel plate can effectively ensure the water quality is not polluted when used for water storage. Stainless steel plate is also recognized as a safe, hygienic and efficient water storage material in the world. Stainless steel plate will also be an indispensable material for water storage equipment in the future.

3. Construction industry

In fact, stainless steel plates were first used in the construction industry, and then gradually introduced into more fields. Decorative panels on the exterior walls of buildings are generally made of stainless steel plates, which are durable and beautiful.

In a word, stainless steel plates are widely used. In addition to the above, stainless steel plates can also be seen in the household appliance manufacturing industry. I hope you can have a more comprehensive understanding of stainless steel plate after reading this article. More wonderful content, remember to pay attention to TISCO stainless steel!
