FAQ

Q1: How does 316L differ from 304 stainless steel bars?

A: 316L adds ​2–3% molybdenum for ​superior chloride resistance (ideal for marine/chemical use), while 304 is cost-effective for general applications.

A: Use carbide tools with ​cutting speeds ≤100 m/min and ​coolant flow ≥5 L/min for Grades 304/316L.

Full compliance includes:

  • ​FDA 21 CFR 177.2600
  • ​EU 10/2011
  • ​ISO 13485 (Medical Devices)

Standard stock: ​1 ton MOQ.

Custom sizes/tempers: ​5 tons MOQ (lead time ​35 days).
