316L (UNS S31603) is a low-carbon austenitic stainless with 2–3% molybdenum, offering better pitting and intergranular corrosion resistance than 304. Low carbon (≤0.03%) removes weld sensitisation risk, making it the general-purpose choice for chemical, food, pharmaceutical and marine service.
Shanghai Hangbo Alloy Group Co., Ltd. supplies 316L Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate to ASTM A240 316L sheet — Hot-rolled plate and cold-rolled sheet from 0.5 mm to 100 mm thick, pickled, shot-blasted or polished — for pressure vessels, reactor linings, heat-exchanger tube sheets and fabrication. All material ships with EN 10204 3.1 certified mill test reports.

Frequently asked questions
What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is flexible — trial orders from a single piece or single plate are welcome. Stock sizes ship in 3–7 days; custom-cut, forged or machined items typically 15–35 days.
Can you provide third-party inspection and shipping to my port?
Yes. SGS / BV / TUV or your nominated inspector can witness all tests before shipment. Full export documentation, sea or air freight on FOB, CIF or DDP terms.
Do you supply machining to drawing?
Yes — CNC turning, milling, drilling, grinding and wire-cut from raw material to finished part in one factory, fewer hand-offs and less material waste.
