cold rolled 316 ss plate
Cold rolled 316 stainless steel plate represents a premium grade material known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and superior mechanical properties. This specialized plate undergoes a precise cold rolling process that enhances its surface finish and dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for demanding applications. The 316 grade contains molybdenum, which significantly improves its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in marine environments and chemical processing facilities. The cold rolling process reduces the plate thickness while simultaneously increasing its strength and hardness, resulting in a product with excellent flatness and superior surface quality. These plates typically exhibit tensile strengths ranging from 515 to 690 MPa and maintain their structural integrity across a wide temperature range from -160°C to 870°C. The material's austenitic structure ensures non-magnetic properties and exceptional weldability, while its low carbon content prevents carbide precipitation during welding. The combination of these characteristics makes cold rolled 316 ss plate an essential material in pharmaceutical equipment, food processing machinery, architectural applications, and marine installations.
