Never Regret A Decision 316 316L Grade Cold Rolled 8ftx4ft

1220mmx2440mmx1.2mm 2B Surface Stainless Steel Sheet

Product Description:​

1. Stainless Steel Grade 316 and 316L: These grades are austenitic stainless steels known

for their excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in environments with chloride ions (such

as marine or coastal areas). They offer superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion,

making them suitable for applications where exposure to corrosive substances is a concern.
2. Cold Rolled: Cold rolling is a process that involves passing the stainless steel sheet

through rollers at room temperature. This process enhances the sheet's surface finish,

dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties. Cold rolled stainless steel sheets

generally exhibit improved strength and hardness compared to hot rolled sheets.
3. Dimensions: The sheet has dimensions of 8ft x 4ft (1220mm x 2440mm), indicating its

size. This standard sheet size allows for easy integration into various applications and projects.
4. Thickness: The sheet has a thickness of 1.2mm, which denotes its gauge or thickness.

This thickness is suitable for applications that require strength and durability while

maintaining flexibility.
5. 2B Surface: The 2B surface finish refers to a smooth, semi-reflective finish that is

obtained through cold rolling and annealing processes. It is a widely used finish that

provides good corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. The 2B surface is suitable

for a range of applications, including decorative and architectural purposes.

Product Advantage:

1. Low Maintenance: Stainless steel is a low-maintenance material that requires minimal

upkeep. It does not require coatings or special treatments to maintain its corrosion resistance,

and it is resistant to staining and rusting.
2. High Temperature Resistance: Stainless steel grade 316 and 316L exhibit good resistance

to high temperatures, making them suitable for applications involving elevated temperatures

or thermal cycling.
3. Superior Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Resistance: These grades of stainless steel offer

superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, which are localized forms of corrosion

that can occur in chloride-rich environments. This makes them highly suitable for applications

in coastal areas or where exposure to saltwater is a concern.
4. Strength and Durability: Stainless steel grade 316 and 316L possess excellent mechanical

properties, including high tensile strength and good toughness. This makes them durable and

able to withstand mechanical stress and deformation without compromising their structural

integrity.
5. Hygienic Properties: Stainless steel is a non-porous material that is easy to clean and

sterilize, making it suitable for applications in medical, pharmaceutical, and food processing

industries where hygiene is critical.
6. Aesthetic Appeal: Stainless steel sheets, particularly those with a 2B surface finish, offer

a clean, smooth, and semi-reflective appearance. This makes them suitable for architectural

and decorative applications where aesthetics are important.

316 and 316L stainless steel makes them ideal for use in chemical processing plants,

petrochemical refineries, and oil and gas industries. They are utilized in equipment such as

tanks, piping systems, heat exchangers, valves, and fittings that come into contact with

corrosive chemicals and solvents.
3. Food and Beverage Processing: Stainless steel grade 316 and 316L are hygienic materials

that are resistant to corrosion, staining, and bacterial growth. They are commonly used in

food processing equipment, commercial kitchens, breweries, and dairy plants for applications

such as food preparation surfaces, storage tanks, piping systems, and beverage dispensers.
4. Pharmaceutical Industry: The hygienic properties of grade 316 and 316L stainless steel

make them suitable for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. They are used in the

manufacturing of pharmaceutical equipment, laboratory benches, cleanrooms, and medical

devices where cleanliness, sterility, and corrosion resistance are crucial.
5. Architectural and Decorative Applications: Stainless steel sheets with a 2B surface finish

are often employed in architectural and decorative projects due to their aesthetic appeal and

corrosion resistance. They are used for wall cladding, elevator panels, column covers,

decorative facades, and interior design elements in commercial buildings, hotels, and

high-end residential properties.
6. Heat Exchangers and HVAC Systems: Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel sheets are

commonly utilized in heat exchangers, condenser tubes, and HVAC (heating, ventilation,

and air conditioning) systems. These applications benefit from the corrosion resistance,

high-temperature strength, and thermal conductivity of stainless steel.
7. Automotive Industry: Stainless steel grade 316 and 316L find applications in the

automotive industry, particularly in exhaust systems and catalytic converters. Their corrosion

resistance and high-temperature strength make them suitable for withstanding the harsh

conditions and corrosive gases generated by the exhaust system.
8. Chemical Storage and Transportation: Stainless steel sheets are used in the construction

of storage tanks, containers, and transportation vessels for chemicals, acids, and corrosive

substances. The corrosion resistance of grade 316 and 316L stainless steel ensures the

integrity and safety of the stored or transported materials.
