Product Knowledge of 316L Stainless Steel Plates

Q1: What is the core advantage of 316L stainless steel plates?

A1: The core advantage is extremely strong corrosion resistance. With molybdenum addition + low-carbon design, it can resist corrosion from seawater, strong acids and alkalis, chloride ions and chemical media, no intergranular corrosion risk, and high temperature resistance (can withstand 800℃ high temperature) and excellent welding performance.

Q2: What are the common thickness and width of 316L stainless steel plates?

A2: The common thickness is 0.5mm-50mm, and the width is 1000mm-1500mm. In foreign trade exports, the demand for plates with thickness of 2mm-10mm and width of 1219mm is the most concentrated. Special thickness and width can be customized on demand to meet different scenario needs.

Q3: Can 316L stainless steel plates be used in coastal construction and mariculture scenarios?

A3: Yes, this is the core adaptation scenario of 316L plates. It can effectively resist seawater corrosion, not easy to rust and break, and is widely used in overseas coastal architectural decoration, mariculture equipment, shipbuilding and other fields.

Q4: What are the characteristics of the price trend of 316L stainless steel plates in foreign trade?

A4: The price is greatly affected by the price of raw materials such as nickel and molybdenum, with relatively obvious fluctuations. The overall price is 40%-60% higher than 304L plates. However, due to excellent performance, the demand for high-end foreign trade orders is stable, and the cost performance is higher than other high-end stainless steel plates.

Q5: What are the surface polishing grades of 316L stainless steel plates?

A5: The common polishing grades for foreign trade are 2B, BA and 8K. The 2B surface is matte, suitable for industrial equipment; the BA surface is mirror matte, suitable for home appliances and decoration; the 8K surface is high-definition mirror, suitable for high-end decoration and medical equipment. The polishing grade can be customized on demand.
