About Monel Alloy 400 Pipe
316L Stainless Steel Plate
Artha Alloys is a trusted supplier and stockist of high-quality 316L Stainless Steel Plates, offering corrosion-resistant stainless steel plates for demanding industrial, chemical, marine, pharmaceutical, food-processing, and engineering applications.
316L Stainless Steel Plate is a low-carbon version of 316 stainless steel, containing molybdenum for enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The low carbon content improves weldability and reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, making 316L particularly suitable for welded components and fabricated equipment.
Artha Alloys supplies 316L Stainless Steel Plates in various thicknesses, widths, lengths, surface finishes, and specifications to meet diverse industrial requirements.

316L Stainless Steel Plate Supplier Artha Alloys
Artha Alloys supplies 316L Stainless Steel Plates / SS 316L Plates in different thicknesses, sizes, surface finishes, and specifications as per customer requirements. Our 316L plates are suitable for critical industrial applications where corrosion resistance, weldability, durability, and long-term performance are essential.
Superior Corrosion & Pitting Resistance316L SS Duplex Plates feature a balanced chemical composition-16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum-that confers exceptional resistance to corrosion, pitting, and crevice attack. This makes them an ideal solution for environments exposed to harsh chemicals, saltwater, or aggressive processing conditions.
Precision Manufacturing and Versatile CustomizationPlates come in multiple thicknesses (3mm-100mm), standard widths (up to 2000mm), and lengths (up to 3000mm or customized), with finishing options including hot rolled, cold rolled, and polished surfaces. Edges can be supplied as mill- or slit-edged, ensuring adaptability for specific project requirements and easy fabrication.
Excellent Mechanical and Physical Qualities316L SS Duplex Plate offers high tensile strength (530-700 MPa), notable hardness (217 HB), and superb impact resistance. Its duplex (austenitic-ferritic) structure delivers a unique blend of robust mechanical performance and slightly magnetic properties, with a durable, defect-free surface for critical applications.
FAQ's of 316L SS Duplex Plate:
Q: How does the duplex structure benefit the performance of 316L SS Duplex Plate?
A: The duplex (austenitic-ferritic) structure improves mechanical strength, toughness, and resistance to stress corrosion cracking, offering a higher safety margin in demanding applications compared to standard austenitic stainless steels.
Q: What finish options are available for 316L SS Duplex Plates, and how do they affect usage?
A: These plates are available in hot rolled, cold rolled, and polished finishes. The chosen finish depends on the intended application-for instance, polished finishes are preferred for food processing, while hot rolled plates are commonly used in chemical or marine environments for greater durability.
Q: When should I choose mill edge versus slit edge plates?
A: Mill edge plates are supplied as produced, suitable for applications where edge smoothness is not critical. Slit edge plates are trimmed for precise dimensions and are typically used when clean, straight edges are required for fabrication or further processing.
Q: Where are 316L SS Duplex Plates most commonly applied?
A: These plates are extensively used in chemical processing, marine environments, oil and gas industries, and food processing plants due to their high corrosion resistance, surface quality, and mechanical strength.
Q: What is the process for ordering customized sizes of 316L SS Duplex Plate?
A: Clients can specify desired thickness (3mm-100mm), width (1000mm-2000mm), and length (up to 3000mm or custom sizes) when placing an order with the manufacturer, exporter, or supplier in India to meet specific project needs.
Q: How does the chemical composition enhance corrosion resistance in harsh environments?
A: The presence of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum in 316L SS Duplex Plate ensures strong corrosion, pitting, and crevice resistance, making it suitable for aggressive chemicals, saltwater, and processing atmospheres.
