Stainless Steel Flat Grade 316
Stainless Steel Grade 316 flat bar is the premier choice for structural applications in high-salinity or chemically aggressive environments. While Grade 304 is suitable for general use, the addition of Molybdenum in Grade 316 provides the critical resistance needed to prevent pitting and crevice corrosion.
