Laser Cut Stainless Steel (316)

If you require a higher level of resistance to environmental factors than what 304 stainless steel can offer, then 316 stainless steel is the solution for you. With its superior strength, durability, and resistance, laser cut 316 stainless steel can add a powerful punch to your upcoming outdoor project.

Strengthen your next project with laser cut 316 stainless steel.

With a high concentration of nickel and chromium and a lower carbon count than other stainless steel varieties, 316 stainless steel is renowned for its exceptional resistance to corrosion. This material can maintain its corrosion-resistant properties in a broad range of environments, making it a crucial component in various modern industries.

Used in a variety or applications

Our 316 stainless steel is similar to 304 in most applications, but it surpasses 304 in one crucial aspect - corrosion resistance. By adding molybdenum to its composition, 316 stainless steel can withstand rusting, particularly from chloride exposure. This makes it an excellent choice for holding tanks that may come into contact with corrosive liquids like sea water or chlorine.

At Ascenti CNC, we offer laser cut 316 stainless steel that meets high standards for both strength and corrosion resistance. While it may not be as easy to machine as 304 stainless steel, its durability makes it an excellent option for your next project. We specialize in machining, so you can rely on us to handle all your laser cutting needs for 316 stainless steel parts.
