316 Stainless Steel Shim: Ideal for use as steel packing shims, gastkets and more

316 stainless steel shim has an advantage over 304 stainless steel in chemical, petrochemical, food and marine applications and is ideal for gaskets, shims, bursting discs, expansion joints etc. 316 stainless steel is an austenitic grade that has excellent ductility, toughness and corrosion resistance with good strength. The presence of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel better overall corrosion resistant properties than grade 304. 316 stainless steel is also ideal for use as metal packers, metal packing shims and can also be used in some spring applications
