A stainless 316 steel sheet is a thin metal grade. The 316 stainless steel sheet is thicker than a foil but thinner than a plate. This is why the sheets are designed in thicknesses below 6mm but above 0.5mm.
The SS 316 sheet is utilized in different structures where strength and tolerance are not the top requirements. The polished 316 stainless steel sheet is one of the many types of finishes that can be achieved from this grade.
Brushed and mirror are the two other types of finishes. The 316 stainless steel sheet price starts at $2 to $3 for 1-2 mm sizes. As the size or thickness of the material increases, the price also increases.
