Stainless Steel Sheet Metal Type

316 316l stainless steel sheet is a popular grade of stainless where superior corrosion resistance is of primary importance.

Stainless steel sheet metal type.

Ryerson stocks many varieties of stainless steel sheet including 304 stainless steel the most popular of the stainless steels. 304 stainless sheet may become slightly magnetic when worked and is not heat treatable. 304 stainless sheet offers good corrosion resistance to many chemical corrodents as well as industrial atmospheres and marine environments. Type 430 is a ferritic stainless steel with corrosion resistance approaching that of 304 304l stainless steel.

Type 430 uns s43000 in coil form. Buy or get a quote for sheet metal online. Type 316 is a high corrosion resistance alloy providing greater resistance to pitting type corrosion. This grade does not work harden rapidly and can be formed using both mild stretch forming bending or drawing operations.

This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications. Contact industrial metal supply today. Cost effective and versatile material sheet is suitable for most applications where durable support and corrosion resistance are required. 304 stainless steel sheet plate is the ideal choice due to its tensile strength high resistance to rust and high fabrication ability.

316 stainless sheet is widely used in marine and highly acidic environments underwater equipment surgical tools food and pharmaceutical applications the addition of molybdenum increases the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless over the more economical 304 grade. Stainless steel sheet is available in type 304 and type 316. Aisi 304 304l astm a240 ams 5513 5511.
