316L Stainless Steel Plate

316L stainless steel has a lower proportion of carbon in its composition. To qualify as 316L stainless steel, the amount of carbon cannot exceed 0.03%. This decreases the risk of carbon precipitation, making it a better option for welding to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.

Product Description

316L Stainless Steel Plate Description

316L stainless steel is a variant of 316 stainless steel with a lower carbon content and is used where welding is required. The lower carbon content minimizes the precipitation of carbides in the heat-affected zone close to the weld, and the precipitation of carbides may cause intergranular corrosion of stainless steel in certain environments. Basically, using 316L eliminates the need to anneal weld joints prior to using the completed metal form, saving time and effort. 316L stainless steel is the second most widely used stainless steel after 304, and its corrosion resistance is better than 304. High temperature resistance is also better, up to 1000 degrees. 316L stainless steel is a kind of universal stainless steel material, rust resistance is stronger than 200 series stainless steel material. 316L stainless steel is widely used in the chemical industry because of its excellent corrosion resistance.

FAQ

Q1: What metal materials do you supply?

Jiangsu Zhongersheng is a professional manufacturer mainly supplying carbon steel, hot-dip galvanized steel, PPGI color coated steel, 201/304/316 stainless steel sheets, coils, tubes and profiles, as well as various steel structural parts. Our products serve infrastructure, photovoltaic, machinery manufacturing, chemical and new energy industries.

Q2: Can you customize material grades, thickness and sizes?

Full customization is available. For carbon steel, galvanized steel and stainless steel, thickness, width and length can be adjusted in accordance with ASTM & EN standards. Profiles can be cut and processed as per drawings, and special steel materials can be customized via production line scheduling.

Q3: What’s the difference between galvanized steel and color coated PPGI?

Hot-dip galvanized steel features pure zinc anti-rust coating with cost-effective and wear-resistant performance, suitable for steel brackets, guardrails and load-bearing structures, and supports secondary painting. PPGI takes galvanized sheet as base material with colorful coating for anti-rust & decorative purposes, widely used for factory roof/wall panels and energy storage housings. Thick galvanized steel is recommended for rainy coastal areas, while PPGI is ideal for decorative outdoor projects.

Q4: Do you have spot inventory? What’s your MOQ?

We built a 10,000-ton standardized warehouse with abundant spot stock of carbon steel, galvanized steel and stainless steel. MOQ is 1 ton for standard sizes; small samples of dozens of kilograms are acceptable. No upper limit for bulk engineering orders, mixed container loading of multiple steel types is supported.

Q5: How long is the delivery time for spot goods & customized goods?

Spot goods can be loaded within 3-7 days; simple cutting & bending processing orders take 7-10 days; mould opening & special steel customization takes 15-30 days, subject to specific specifications confirmation.
