Food-Grade 316L Stainless Steel Sheet
Corrosion-Resistant Pioneer Industrial Preferred Choice
316L, the low-carbon version of 316 stainless steel (C ≤ 0.03%), exhibits significantly superior pitting resistance in chloride environments compared to 304 stainless steel due to its molybdenum content (2-3%). Key features include:
- Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Outstanding performance in corrosive media like seawater and organic acids, especially suitable for high-salinity environments
- Biocompatibility: FDA-certified for direct contact with food and pharmaceuticals
- Processing Friendliness: Excellent weldability without post-weld annealing
- High-Temperature Stability: Continuous service temperature up to 450°C
