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 are often custom manufactured and remain highly requested among a wide array of users. Often, these items are furnished and supplied in sheet form, with 4 ft x 10 ft being popular.

The specifications are commonly used in numerous industrial and non-industrial applications, including general industrial use, chemical processing and construction projects where a higher level of corrosion is needed. Likewise, architects and commercial and residential designers also use these specifications for infill panels and in security applications. These items can also be used in fencing, caging and enclosure applications in corrosive environments.

Description 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 SS counterpart.

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