What is 316 / 316L Stainless Steel Sheet?
316 and 316L stainless steel sheets are flat-rolled products made from grade 316 stainless steel, available in specified lengths, widths, and thicknesses. These sheets offer excellent flexibility and exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideal for use in harsh environments—especially in acidic, chemical, or marine conditions.
Why Choose 316 / 316L Stainless Steel Sheets?
Standard 316/316L stainless steel sheets provide outstanding corrosion resistance, even at elevated temperatures, while offering enhanced strength compared to other stainless steel grades. The presence of molybdenum in 316-grade steel enhances its chemical properties beyond those of 304, making it suitable for more aggressive corrosive environments.
316 stainless steel sheets also possess superior heat resistance, making them ideal for applications such as marine components, chemical processing equipment, and structural elements in coastal or offshore construction where exposure to pressure and heavy loads is common.
With excellent weldability and formability, 316/316L stainless steel is a reliable material for demanding projects. Choosing this material ensures high performance and long-term durability. Partner with OrinoxSteel to bring added value to your industrial or construction projects.
Common Types of 316 Stainless Steel Sheets
316 stainless steel sheets are commonly available in four types:
-
316
-
316L (Low Carbon)
-
316H (High Carbon for high-temperature strength)
-
316Ti (Titanium-stabilized for better weld performance)
Each type offers unique advantages depending on the composition and application needs.

How to Calculate the Weight of 316 Stainless Steel Sheet
The weight of a 316 stainless steel sheet varies depending on its dimensions. Use the following formula to calculate the weight:
Weight = T × W × L × 7.98
Where:
-
T = Thickness (mm)
-
W = Width (mm)
-
L = Length (mm)
-
7.98 is the density of 316 stainless steel (7.98 g/cm³)

| Chemical Composition | Chromium (Cr) 16% – 18%, manganese (Mn) 5.5% – 7.5%, nickel (Ni) 3.5% – 5.5%, nitrogen (N) ≤0.25% | Chromium (Cr) 18% – 20%, nickel (Ni) 8% – 10.5%, low carbon | Chromium (Cr) 16% – 18%, low carbon, ferrite structure |
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | ≥520 | ≥515 | ≥450 |
| Elongation (%) | ≥40 | ≥40 | ≥22 |
| Corrosion Resistance | Moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for less corrosive environments. Prone to rusting in humid or corrosive conditions compared to 300 series. | Good general corrosion resistance, suitable for general atmosphere, fresh water and other environments, relatively weak tolerance to chloride ions | Fair corrosion resistance, better than carbon steel but inferior to 300 series. Susceptible to pitting corrosion in chloride-rich environments. |
| Magnetic Properties | Weakly magnetic due to its alloy composition | Non-magnetic in the annealed state, may become slightly magnetic under certain processing conditions | Magnetic |
| Cost | Relatively low, due to lower nickel content and relatively simple composition | Moderate, as a widely used and reliable grade | Relatively low, similar to 200 series in terms of cost, but with different performance characteristics |
| Application Fields | Interior decoration, low-end kitchenware, some decorative trims in buildings where corrosion resistance requirements are not high | Kitchen utensils, building decoration, general industrial components and other daily fields | Appliance housings, automotive trim, some food processing equipment where non-magnetic properties are not required and moderate corrosion resistance suffices |
