What is SS 316L Stainless Steel Plate?

SS 316L is a low-carbon version of 316 stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance in chloride environments, chemical exposure, and marine settings. As an austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy, it is ideal for applications where high strength, non-magnetic behavior, and excellent weldability are required. The “L” variant has reduced carbon content, making it more resistant to sensitization and intergranular corrosion after welding.

Applications of SS 316L Plates in Saudi Arabia’s Industries

Hindustan Steel Corporation supplies SS 316L plates for a wide range of projects across Saudi Arabia including:

  • Desalination plants & water treatment
  • Chemical and petrochemical processing
  • Oil & gas refineries
  • Food & beverage production units
  • Pharmaceutical facilities
  • Heat exchangers & pressure vessels
  • Piping and structural fabrications in the marine sector
  • Coastal construction and offshore platforms

Mechanical Strength & Performance of SS 316L Plates

  1. Tensile Strength: ≥ 485 MPa
  2. Yield Strength (0.2% proof): ≥ 170 MPa
  3. Elongation: ≥ 40%
  4. Hardness: ≤ 95 HRB
  5. Density: 8.0 g/cm³
  6. Melting Point: 1375–1400°C

These properties ensure reliability even in aggressive environmental and high-pressure conditions.

ASTM A240 / SA240 – Standards & Equivalents for SS 316L Plates

Hindustan Steel Corporation supplies SS 316L stainless steel plates as per:

  • ASTM A240 / ASME SA240 – for pressure vessel and general structural use
  • EN 1.4404 / X2CrNiMo17-12-2 – European equivalent
  • JIS SUS316L – Japanese equivalent
  • DIN 1.4404 / W.Nr. 1.4435 – German equivalents

316L plates are also NACE MR0175 compliant for sour gas environments, making them ideal for Saudi oil & gas sectors.

Available Thickness & Sizes in 316L Plates

We stock and export SS 316L plates in a wide range of thicknesses and dimensions:

  • Thickness: 3 mm to 100 mm
  • Width: up to 2500 mm
  • Length: up to 6000 mm or cut-to-size
  • Surface Finish: 2B, No.1, BA, No.4, Mirror Finish
  • Edge Type: Mill Edge, Sheared Edge
  • Form: Plates, Sheets, Coils, Blanks

Custom dimensions, slitting, and profile cutting are available on request for fabrication in Saudi industries.

Weldability, Heat Resistance & Fabrication Tips

SS 316L plates exhibit excellent weldability and formability:

  • Welded via TIG, MIG, SAW processes without post-weld annealing
  • Resistant to grain boundary carbide precipitation
  • Performs well in temperatures up to 870°C
  • Suitable for bending, drilling, machining, and rolling
  • Can be hot worked at 900–1200°C and annealed for stress relief

Its low carbon content minimizes the risk of sensitization in high-temperature environments.

Export-Focused Processing: CNC Cutting & Finish Options

For our Saudi Arabian buyers, we offer high-precision processing including:

  • CNC waterjet and plasma cutting
  • Polishing: No.4 / Matte / Mirror / Satin
  • Chamfering, beveling, drilling, and tapping
  • Sheet-to-sheet lamination for protection in transit

All processing follows Saudi project specs and international quality norms.

Buyer Tips: How to Select SS 316L for Saudi Projects

When selecting SS 316L stainless steel plates for use in Saudi Arabia:

  • Check Mo% ≥ 2.0 for corrosion resistance in Gulf seawater & saline zones
  • Confirm NACE / ISO 15156 compliance for oil & gas projects
  • Opt for low-carbon 316L, not standard 316, to avoid intergranular corrosion
  • Verify mill certifications and ASTM A240 conformity
  • Ensure heat traceability and Lloyds / DNV approvals if required by your EPC client
  • Match surface finish to your application: No.1 (industrial), 2B (pharma), BA/Mirror (decor)
