JIS G4305 SUS316 Steel Plate | 316 Stainless Steel
What is JIS G4305 SUS316 Steel Plate?
As a professional stainless steel supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present JIS G4305 SUS316 Steel Plate, also widely known as 316 stainless steel.
JIS G4305 SUS316 is a premium austenitic stainless steel under the Japanese standard for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheets and strips. The addition of molybdenum (2–3%) significantly improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-containing environments compared with standard SUS304. SUS316 stainless steel also offers excellent formability, good weldability and reliable performance in chemical, marine and food processing applications. SHH STEEL supplies high-quality JIS G4305 SUS316 as Mill Direct Supply from leading Chinese stainless steel mills, ensuring competitive pricing, consistent quality and full traceability.
