Melting Point: Ranges from 1370 – 1400 °C, enabling it to maintain its structural integrity in high – temperature environments to a certain extent.

Thermal Conductivity: At room temperature, the thermal conductivity is about 16.3 W/(m·K). It has relatively low thermal conductivity compared to some metals, which can play a role in heat insulation and energy conservation in some applications.

Electrical Resistivity: The electrical resistivity is approximately 7.2 × 10⁻⁷ Ω·m, showing certain resistance to the flow of electric current, which is of practical significance in electrical and electronic applications.

Mechanical Properties: It has good strength and toughness. The yield strength is generally not less than 175 MPa, the tensile strength is not less than 480 MPa, and the elongation after fracture is not less than 40%. These properties allow it to withstand a certain amount of pressure and impact force.

Application:

316L Stainless steel plate finds extensive application across multiple sectors. In the chemical industry, it is used to construct reaction vessels, pipelines, and storage tanks due to its excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals. In the food and beverage industry, it is ideal for manufacturing processing equipment, storage containers, and conveyor belts, meeting strict hygiene standards. In marine engineering, it is utilized in shipbuilding and offshore platforms, enduring seawater corrosion. In architecture, it is employed for decorative elements, handrails, and facades, combining aesthetics with durability. Additionally, in the medical field, it is used to make surgical instruments and medical implants because of its biocompatibility and resistance to bodily fluids.
