For when you need greater resistance to the elements than 304 can provide, 316 stainless steel is here to meet your needs. Stronger, more durable, and more resistant, laser cut 316 stainless steel will bring the muscle to your next outdoor project.
With high amounts of nickel and chromium and a lower carbon count than other stainless varieties, 316 is highly corrosion resistant. Able to remain corrosion resistant across many different environments makes this steel an important material in modern industries.
Our 316 stainless steel is very similar to 304 in application, but this material differs in one major area: corrosion resistance. By alloying molybdenum into its composition, 316 circumvents 304’s common pitfalls when it comes to rusting. Specifically, 316 is adept at resisting corrosion caused by chloride exposure. This means that it’s great for holding tanks that could come into contact with corrosive liquids, such as sea water, or chlorine.
SendCutSend’s laser cut 316 stainless steel will live up to your highest expectations regarding strength and corrosion resistance. While it’s not as easy to machine as 304 stainless steel, it makes up for that in the durability it will bring to your next project. And machining is our wheelhouse, so you just sit back while we laser cut all your 316 stainless steel parts.

We guarantee awesome quality parts. If you’re not 100% happy, we’ll give you a refund or remake on the spot – no questions, no hassle.
Thicknesses greater than .125″ will have a factory #1 mill finish. When not deburred, the appearance will be dull with visible mill scaling.
We know your projects are multi-dimensional. Get freshly bent metal parts, right off the machine.
Custom powder coating gives your laser and waterjet cut parts a bold, long-lasting finish and protective layer which provides corrosion, oxidation, and damage resistance.
Utilizing specialized, automated equipment, we precisely laser-cut a hole, create some threading, and send you on your way with your completed part.
Our laser cut deburring/finishing process is included at no cost because we want you to have good-looking parts when they arrive at your door.
