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.

FAQ
- What is the main advantage of SUS316 over SUS304?JIS G4305 SUS316 contains molybdenum, which significantly improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments compared with standard 304 stainless steel
- Is SUS316 magnetic?316 stainless steel is non-magnetic in the annealed condition. It may become slightly magnetic after heavy cold working.
- What is the difference between SUS316 and SUS316L?SUS316L has lower carbon content (≤0.030%), offering better resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. Standard SUS316 is suitable for most general applications.
