Unique Features:

1.4401 316 Stainless Steel Sheet features enhanced resistance to corrosion, especially in chloride and acidic environments, due to its addition of molybdenum (2-3%). This gives it superior protection against pitting and crevice corrosion compared to other stainless steels. It is also highly resistant to high temperatures, retaining strength and performance in heat-intensive applications. The material’s excellent weldability and formability allow it to be easily shaped into complex designs, making it ideal for various industries such as food processing, marine, and chemical manufacturing.
