T-316 stainless steel is recognized as the second most widely available of all stainless steels in the wire mesh industry. T-316 stainless steel wire mesh is typically considered an alternative grade to T-304 stainless steel wire mesh and preferred in certain circumstances. Particularly, in marine environments and in applications requiring heavy welding, T-316 stainless steel is commonly specified due to its many benefits.

T-316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, and in particular, performs well in its ability to resist pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments. The inclusion of molybdenum (Mo) is a major factor for the improved corrosion resistance versus a T-304 SS counterpart.

T-316 stainless steel is available in both woven and welded constructions - both from stock and through custom manufacturing.

 N/A T-316 stainless steel is recognized as the second most widely available of all stainless steels in the wire mesh industry. T-316 stainless steel wire mesh is typically considered an alternative grade to T-304 stainless steel wire mesh and preferred in certain circumstances. Particularly, in marine environments and in applications requiring heavy welding, T-316 stainless steel is commonly specified due to its many benefits.

T-316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, and in particular, performs well in its ability to resist pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments. The inclusion of molybdenum (Mo) is a major factor for the improved corrosion resistance versus a T-304 stainless steel counterpart.

T-316 stainless steel is heat resistant and has good oxidation resist resistance to a temperature of approximately 1600 ºF in intermittent service and to a temperature of 1700 ºF in continuous service. T-316 stainless steel is also excellent for fabrication purposes - it can be formed and cut to size with appropriate tools and machinery. It also has outstanding weldability, and it is virtually non-magnetic in the annealed condition.

T-316 stainless steel is available in both woven and welded constructions - both from stock and through custom manufacturing. The standard chemical composition for T-316 stainless steel commonly used in the wire mesh and wire cloth industry.

Often times, these specifications are reserved for high performance use in industries, like aerospace, science research and special technologies. These items, especially the more common standard or market grades, are available from stock in full 100 ft rolls. These rolls can be cut down to size, particularly if the mesh is assembled as a fabricated part. The common thread among all of these uses is that T-316 stainless steel is often preferred when a higher level of corrosion resistance is needed, compared to T-304 stainless steel.

Non-industrial users also find some of these specifications suitable for various decorative and artistic applications. If you do not see your exact specification here, keep in mind that it can be custom manufactured. Please contact us with your wire mesh requirements.
