SUS316H Stainless Steel Plate Price Per Ton

What is SUS316H stainless steel plate?​
SUS316H is the high‑carbon version of SUS316 stainless steel, specially designed for high‑temperature and high‑pressure applications. With a carbon content of 0.04 %–0.10 %, SUS316H offers higher creep strength and better thermal fatigue resistance compared with standard 316/316L. It maintains stable performance under continuous service temperatures up to 650 °C, and fully complies with ASTM A240 / JIS G4304 / EN 1.4915​ standards.

SUS316H stainless steel hot‑rolled plate is widely used in pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, refinery heaters, petrochemical equipment, and any systems that require long‑term service above 500–650 °C.

Is SUS316H better than 316 or 316L for high-temperature use?

Yes, 316H stainless steel is better suited for high-temperature applications than 316 and 316L stainless steel because its higher carbon content gives it greater strength and creep resistance at high temperatures. While 316L stainless steel is better suited for welding due to its lower carbon content, and 316 stainless steel is a good general-purpose stainless steel, 316H stainless steel is specifically designed for applications requiring higher strength above 500°C.


Can SUS316H be used for pressure vessels?
Yes, SUS316H can be used for pressure vessels, particularly for high-temperature applications where its high-carbon content provides enhanced strength. It is commonly used in the chemical, petrochemical, and power industries for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and piping systems.


Does 316H have better corrosion resistance than 316L?
The corrosion resistance of 316H is comparable to 316L in many environments. However, 316L is preferred for applications involving welding or exposure to high temperatures. The lower carbon content of 316L prevents sensitization, which is a form of intergranular corrosion that can occur in the heat-affected zone of welds. The carbon content of 316H is higher than 316L, which makes it more susceptible to sensitization.
