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 popular specifications featured here are some of the more versatile and commonly requested items that industrial users select for their specific wire mesh requirements. Many of these items are stocked in full, 100FT rolls and can be provided in conveniently sized pieces, like 4FT x 10FT or 3FT x 25FT for example.

These meshes are specified for use in general industrial use applications, like heavy duty particle separation, water filtration and food processing. Industries that use these types of stainless steel mesh specifications typically include: pharmaceuticals, scientific, processing and automotive to name a few.

Designers and home owners also find many of these meshes suitable for use around the house and office in instances that require a higher level of corrosion resistance than T-304 stainless steel.

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 meshes are specified for use in heat treating, food processing and particle separation. The automotive, refinery and marine industries routinely use many of these meshes. Architect and designers use these meshes for unique and interesting designs like infill panels, room dividers and decorative signage in environments that require better corrosion resistance than T-304 stainless steel.
