SUS316 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Coil & Sheet | JIS G4305 316 Stainless Steel Strip Manufacturer & Exporter – Gangsteel

Gangsteel is a leading manufacturer and global exporter of premium JIS G4305 SUS316 cold rolled stainless steel coils, sheets, and strips. As a molybdenum-bearing austenitic grade (Grade 316 or UNS S31600), SUS316 provides superior corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-containing environments, pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, and excellent high-temperature strength compared to standard SUS304. The addition of 2-3% molybdenum significantly enhances its performance in marine, chemical, and aggressive industrial applications.

Our precision cold rolling facilities produce SUS316 with high-quality surface finishes (2B, BA, No.4, HL, Mirror), tight tolerances (±0.02 mm), and consistent properties fully compliant with JIS G4305 (Cold-rolled stainless steel plate, sheet and strip). Equivalent to ASTM A240 Type 316, EN 1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2), and GB 0Cr17Ni12Mo2, Gangsteel's SUS316 products serve demanding sectors worldwide including chemical processing, marine equipment, pharmaceuticals, food processing, heat exchangers, and architectural applications requiring enhanced durability.

This comprehensive product introduction details every aspect of our JIS G4305 SUS316 cold rolled stainless steel — from composition and properties (in tables) to manufacturing, applications, advantages, and why Gangsteel is your trusted partner for reliable, high-performance supply.

 

Introduction to SUS316 Stainless Steel

SUS316 is an enhanced 18/10/2 chromium-nickel-molybdenum austenitic stainless steel, offering better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion than SUS304 due to molybdenum. It excels in chloride-rich environments (e.g., seawater, brackish water, chlorides) while maintaining excellent general corrosion resistance, weldability, formability, and mechanical properties across a wide temperature range.

Non-magnetic in the annealed state, SUS316 provides good toughness at cryogenic temperatures and oxidation resistance up to ~870°C intermittent. Gangsteel specializes in cold rolled SUS316, optimizing it for deep drawing, stamping, bending, polishing, and welding in corrosive service.
