AISI 316/316L Stainless Steel Bar

AISI 316/316L stainless steel bar is the upgraded corrosion-resistant grade in the 300-series. With added molybdenum (Mo), it offers far better resistance to seawater, chloride, and harsh chemicals compared with 304/304L. Its stable strength, excellent toughness, and clean surface make it ideal for demanding industrial applications.

As a professional manufacturer and exporter, SUNNING STEEL LIMITED provides 316/316L stainless steel bars in multiple shapes, supports custom cutting, polishing, and offers export-standard packaging.
