AISI 316L Stainless Steel Plate

As a professional supplier and manufacturer of 316L stainless steel sheets, GNEE provides global customers with superior AISI 316L high-end stainless steel sheet supply chain solutions. We maintain a year-round stock of over 15,000 tons of 316L stainless steel, covering a full range of specifications from cold-rolled 0.3mm to 6.0mm and hot-rolled 3.0mm to 120mm, with a maximum width of 2500mm (98").

 

Our 316L stainless steel sheets strictly adhere to ASTM A240 and ASME SA240 standards, ensuring a stable molybdenum (Mo) content of 2.0% - 3.0% and a nickel (Ni) content of ≥10%, guaranteeing an exceptionally long service life in highly corrosive environments such as marine and chemical plants. Leveraging our advanced machining center, we offer laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and bending services with tolerances controlled within ±0.2mm, and can customize various surface finishes including No.4, HL, 8K mirror, and sandblasting.

All products come with an EN 10204 3.1 MTC (material certificate) and are certified by SGS, BV, and TUV. Third-party on-site spectral testing is conducted to ensure that every piece of exported board material is 100% compliant with international engineering standards.

Is AISI 316L non-magnetic?

316L is an austenitic stainless steel; in its annealed state, it is completely non-magnetic (paramagnetic). However, after undergoing cold working-such as cold rolling, bending, or drawing-the material may develop slight magnetism due to the transformation of austenite into martensite.

 

Is 316L suitable for low-temperature or ultra-low-temperature applications?

Yes. 316L retains excellent ductility and impact toughness at sub-zero temperatures-even in cryogenic environments. It exhibits no brittle-to-ductile transition temperature and is frequently used in equipment for the storage and transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).

 

Lead Time

Stock Orders: Picking, processing, and loading are completed within 3–5 business days following contract confirmation and receipt of the advance payment.
Production Orders: Based on the production schedule, the lead time is typically 15–25 business days; urgent projects may request a "fast-track" channel to expedite the timeline.

 

Sea-worthy Packaging

To ensure that plate surfaces remain free from moisture damage and scratches during long-distance sea transport, we adhere to rigorous export packaging standards:
Surface Protection: By default, each plate is covered with a single or double layer of 70μ/100μ laser protective film (PVC/Fiber Laser Film).
Moisture & Rust Prevention: The material is wrapped in waterproof kraft paper and secured with high-strength steel strapping.
Support & Reinforcement:We utilize fumigated wooden pallets or steel pallets, with the load per pallet controlled within a range of 2–4 tons. Square timber blocks are placed at the base to prevent deformation, and metal edge protectors are installed to safeguard the corners.
