Frequently Asked Questions
What is 316L Stainless Steel Sheet?
What is the price of 316L Stainless Steel Sheet per kg?
316L Stainless Steel Sheet price ranges from Rs. 240 to Rs. 350 per kg in India. International pricing is approximately USD $4 to $8 per kg. The final amount depends on thickness, surface finish, and order quantity. Contact us for a current quote based on your specific requirements.
What is the difference between 316 and 316L Stainless Steel Sheet?
Standard 316 contains 0.08% carbon, but 316L carries only 0.030%. Lower carbon stops corrosion after welding, making 316L the superior grade choice for all your welded sheets.
Which is better for corrosion resistance, 316L or 304 Stainless Steel Sheet?
The 316L sheet offers superior corrosion resistance compared to 304, attributable to its molybdenum content of 2.00 to 3.00%. Under chloride conditions, this component reduces the amount of pitting and crevice corrosion that occurs. When it comes to marine, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications, 316L is the optimal choice.
Can 316L Stainless Steel Sheet be welded?
316L Stainless Steel Sheet has excellent weldability. The low carbon content (0.030% max) prevents sensitisation during the welding process. Post-weld annealing is not required for most sheet thicknesses.
What are the standard sizes of 316L Stainless Steel Sheet?
The standard sizes for SS 316L Sheets are 1,000 mm by 2,000 mm, 1,250 mm by 2,500 mm, 1,500 mm by 3,000 mm, and 2,000 mm by 6,000 mm. We provide thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 6 mm. You can also request custom-cut sizes for high-performance and specialised applications to ensure your project’s success.
