316 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel recognized for its high corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride conditions. It is the second most popular grade of stainless steel after 304, and it is commonly referred to as “marine grade” stainless steel due to its adaptability for use in saltwater environments.
Aashish Metals manufactures and sells high-quality stainless steel 316 Nuts, 316L Bolts, and 316 Fasteners. These might be very thin, like 0.3mm, or quite thick, up to 120mm. Many different industries use our products. We also handle nickel and copper alloys, stainless and duplex steels, and carbon and alloy steels, all of which are utilized to manufacture stainless steel sheets, plates, and coils.
What is the price of stainless steel 316 per kg?
In today’s competitive global market, determining the correct price per kilogram (kg) for an SS 316 sheet might be challenging. Stainless Steel 316 is usually priced between Rs. 240 and Rs. 280 per kilogram. However, this might vary greatly depending on where you buy from and how much you require. Suppliers may provide a significant discount if you purchase a large quantity at once.
So, before making a purchase, shop about and check rates from several sellers. There are various grades of SS 316 sheets available, each designed for a specific industry or use. Choosing the appropriate grade is critical because it can influence the price per kg.
What Is the Difference Between 316 and 316L Stainless Steel?
316 and 316L stainless steel sheets are widely utilized in the manufacture of medical devices, ocean-related equipment, and culinary finishes. 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum as its principal element, whereas 316L contains less carbon to prevent carbon accumulation. 316L is somewhat more flexible and easier to weld than 316, although 316 steel stronger when heated or under pressure. Because both 316 and 316L stainless steel sheets contain a high concentration of chromium, they can be used in rust-prone environments.
