Stainless Steel 316 Coils (HR & CR) | Manufacturer & Supplier

Stainless Steel 316 coils (HR & CR) are austenitic flat-rolled products manufactured to ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240, carrying the UNS designation S31600. The alloy contains 16.0–18.0% chromium, 10.0–14.0% nickel, and 2.00–3.00% molybdenum. Molybdenum is the element that separates 316 from the standard 304 grade, providing notably better resistance to chloride pitting and crevice attacks. Minimum tensile strength is 515 MPa (75 ksi), yield strength is around 205 MPa (30 ksi), and elongation reaches 35%. In the metals trade, grade 316 is often called marine grade stainless steel.

Stainless Steel 316 Coil Industrial Applications

Alloy 316 coils serve major industrial sectors. The molybdenum content gives this grade a clear advantage over 304 in chloride and acid environments.

Chemical & Petrochemical Industry

SS 316 coils are used for reactor vessels, heat exchangers, and storage tanks handling chloride solutions, organic acids, and process chemicals.

Marine & Offshore

Excellent resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion renders this grade standard for maritime fittings, offshore structures, and industrial desalination plant systems.

Food, Beverage & Pharmaceutical

To ensure corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, hygienic equipment and conduit systems require CR coils with a smooth 2B or BA surface finish.

Architectural & Construction

Architects specify No.4 or mirror-finish CR coils for facade cladding, elevator panels, and handrails. These materials provide decorative trim for buildings in coastal and urban environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HR and CR SS 316 Coils?+

HR coils are produced at high temperatures in thicknesses of 1.5–12.0 mm with a No.1 finish. CR coils undergo further rolling at room temperature, producing thinner gauges (0.3–3.0 mm) with smoother finishes such as 2B, BA, and No.4.

What is the price of SS 316 Coils per kg?+

Thickness, width, finish, and metal markets determine the final cost. In India, you can expect prices between Rs 200 and Rs 350 per kg. In the USA it ranges between $4.60 and $5.20 per kg.

How do you verify that a coil is genuine SS 316?+

A molybdenum spot test is the fastest field method. Genuine 316 shows 2.00–3.00% Mo content. PMI with an XRF analyser or mill test certificates (EN 10204 3.1/3.2) provide full verification.

Which ASTM Standard covers SS 316 Coils?+

ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240 covers stainless steel 316 coil for pressure vessels and general engineering applications.

Is SS 316 Coil suitable for marine applications?+

Yes. SS 316 is commonly known as marine grade stainless steel. The 2.00–3.00% molybdenum content provides strong resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion in saltwater service.

Can SS 316 coils be used for chemical storage tanks?+

Yes. SS 316 coils are widely used to fabricate storage tanks for acids, alkalis, solvents, and pharmaceutical products. The grade handles chloride solutions and organic acids that would attack 304.

What thickness range is available in SS 316 Coils?+

Thickness ranges from 0.3 mm to 12.0 mm. CR coils cover 0.3–3.0 mm; HR coils cover 1.5–12.0 mm.

What is the minimum order quantity for SS 316 Coils?+

Minimum order quantities depend on thickness, width, and finish. Contact us with your specific requirements for stock availability and pricing.
