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.

The specifications featured here range in opening size from approximately 1/32” to 1/64” and represent items that many users select for general industrial use. Darby specializes in stocking many of the standard or market grade specifications, as well as some of the harder to secure items that are used in unique applications.

Many of these items can be used in filtration and separation applications. Some of these items can also be used in instances where air flow is needed. Others of these specifications can be used in scientific applications. 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 useful in various decorative and artistic applications.

Additional Information 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.

Many of these items can be used in filtration and separation applications. Some of these items can also be used in instances where air flow is needed. Others of these specifications can be used in scientific applications. 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.
