Tonghui offers 1/4 inch thick 316 stainless steel plates.It contains molybdenum austenitic material, complies with ASTM A240 standard, and is resistant to chloride ion corrosion, pitting corrosion, and high temperature oxidation, better than 304. The board surface is flat, mechanically stable, weldable and easy to process, suitable for harsh working conditions such as marine engineering, chemical equipment, food machinery, etc. It supports customized cutting and surface treatment. Welcome to consult!
Price Range: $3.8–$4.5 per square foot (FOB China Ports); approximately $3,700–$4,100 per metric ton.
Pricing Basis: Based on ASTM A240 standard 1/4″ (6.35mm) 316/316L hot-rolled/cold-rolled plates in the regular 4×8 ft (48×96 inch) size.
Price Factors: Supported by high prices of nickel and molybdenum raw materials. Surface finish (2B, No.1, mirror polish), tolerance precision, order quantity and custom processing may affect the final quotation. Bulk orders are eligible for a 5%–8% discount.
1/4-inch (6.35mm) 316 stainless steel plate contains molybdenum, delivering excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. It offers significantly higher resistance to chloride ions and acidic/alkaline media than 304 grade, making it ideal for marine and chemical environments.
With stable tensile and yield strength at room temperature, this steel plate features high strength, good toughness and strong deformation resistance. It withstands moderate loads and impacts, ensuring high structural safety.
It performs well in elevated-temperature service with good oxidation resistance and thermal stability, resisting scaling even under long-term high-temperature conditions.
The plate has a smooth, uniform surface and favorable plasticity for cutting, bending and stamping. It welds smoothly with low cracking tendency, suitable for various further fabrication.
