316 stainless steel coil
316 stainless steel coil represents a premium grade austenitic stainless steel product that offers exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. This versatile material contains higher levels of nickel and molybdenum compared to other stainless steel grades, making it particularly resistant to chlorides and various aggressive chemicals. The coil format allows for efficient material handling and processing in manufacturing operations. Known for its excellent formability and weldability, 316 stainless steel coil maintains its structural integrity across a wide temperature range, from cryogenic conditions to elevated temperatures up to 870°C. The material's composition typically includes 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum, creating a robust alloy that resists pitting and crevice corrosion. Its applications span across multiple industries, including chemical processing, marine environments, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing equipment, and architectural applications. The coil format enables cost-effective production of various components through processes such as cutting, forming, and welding, while maintaining consistent material properties throughout.
