316 Stainless Steel Plate User Cases: A Common Choice Across Industries

 

  • A large food processing plant replaced 304 stainless steel with 316 stainless steel for soy sauce fermentation tanks and pickling equipment, resolving equipment rust and contamination issues. The product qualification rate increased from 92% to 99.8%, reducing annual losses from quality inspection failures by over 1 million yuan.
  • A marine engineering company used 316 stainless steel to manufacture ship deck fittings. In seawater immersion, the equipment corrosion rate dropped from 0.2mm/year to 0.05mm/year, extending the maintenance cycle from one year to four years, and saving over 2 million yuan in annual maintenance costs.
  • A chemical company used 316 stainless steel to manufacture 30% sulfuric acid solution storage tanks. Previously, 304 stainless steel tanks needed to be replaced every two years. Now, after five years of operation with no corrosion or leaks, the equipment's service life has more than doubled, reducing procurement costs by 50%.

 

Customized service + Quality assurance for peace of mind

 

We have a professional 316 stainless steel plate production team, offering customized products with thicknesses ranging from 0.3mm to 150mm and widths from 1000mm to 2500mm. We support surface treatments such as brushed, mirrored, pickling, passivation, and sandblasting to meet the aesthetic and performance requirements of various devices. Equipped with a 24/7 online testing laboratory, each batch of products undergoes component analysis, corrosion resistance testing, and mechanical property testing to ensure zero-error quality.

 

Application
