Alro - Stainless Plate

Stainless Steel Plate
316 & 316L

Description

Type 316 is an austenitic chrome nickel steel with superior corrosion resistance to that of other chrome nickel steels. Widely used when exposed to chemical corrodents, as well as marine atmospheres.

T-316 is generally considered non-magnetic, but can become magnetic when cold worked. In 316L, the carbon content has been lowered to .03% max. for corrosion resistance at heat affected zones from welding.

Typical Applications

Acetic acid compounds
Kettles for cooking catsup
Pulp and paper processing equipment
Water softener tanks
Many marine applications
