Stainless Steel 316/316L Annealed is a premium-grade, corrosion-resistant alloy engineered for high-performance CNC machining, fabrication, and critical applications exposed to harsh or saline environments. With molybdenum added to its composition, SS316 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to SS304, particularly in marine and chemical processing environments.
The low-carbon version (316L) enhances weldability and reduces the risk of sensitization and intergranular corrosion, making it ideal for welded structures and pharmaceutical-grade processing. In its annealed form, it offers excellent ductility, machinability, and stability for close-tolerance CNC manufacturing.
TECHNO supplies SS316/316L in a variety of custom-cut shapes, including round bars, flat plates, and high-precision blanks, suitable for demanding industrial use across food, chemical, marine, and pharmaceutical sectors.
USES | Marine exterior trim, industrial equipment, corrosive chemical handling. |
