316 Perforated Stainless Steel Sheet

316 stainless steel perforated sheet metal contains 2–3% molybdenum, giving it significantly higher chloride corrosion resistance than 304. For example, in seawater filtration systems, its pitting corrosion rate is only one-fifth that of 304 perforated sheets, extending service life by 2–3 times.

The tensile strength of 316 stainless steel perforated sheet is ≥515 MPa. After perforation, optimized hole patterns help reduce stress concentration, allowing it to withstand certain loads—for instance, platform panels can support 3–5 tons per square meter. Its impact resistance surpasses that of ordinary perforated carbon steel, making it ideal for outdoor platforms, equipment guards, and more.

With a smooth, rust-resistant surface, perforated SS 316 sheet resists clogging and requires less frequent replacement, lowering the total lifecycle cost. In coastal building facades, perforations create attractive light and shadow effects while resisting sea breeze corrosion, reducing maintenance frequency.

1. Can 316 perforated sheet be used outdoors?
Yes. 316 stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and weathering, making it ideal for outdoor use, including building facades, sunshades, and platforms.

2. What hole sizes and patterns are available?
316 perforated sheets are available with round, square, slotted, and custom holes. Hole sizes typically range from 0.5 mm to 20 mm, with varying pitch and open area ratios based on your needs.

3. Is 316 perforated stainless steel sheet weldable or formable?
Yes. 316 has excellent weldability and formability. It can be cut, bent, and welded for custom fabrication without significant loss of corrosion resistance.

4. What is the price range for 316 perforated stainless steel sheets?
Prices vary based on thickness, hole pattern, and sheet size but typically range from $150 to $450 per sheet or $5–$8 per kg. Customization may increase the cost.
