Vipul Sheets and Plates is a well-known manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316 Forgings in Delhi, India. SS 316 is a molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel, suitable for use where there is a high demand for corrosion resistance and high strength. Our 316 forgings are manufactured with superior-grade raw materials and high-tech forging technology to guarantee high strength and accuracy in dimensions. These materials are typically applied in marine, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries where crevice corrosion and pitting resistance is crucial. Vipul provides forged products in several shapes including rings, flanges, and blocks, as per the specifications of the client as well as industry standards.
SS 316 has an approximate composition of 16–18% Chromium, 10–14% Nickel, and 2–3% Molybdenum with ≤0.08% Carbon. 316 steel that has been forged offers tensile strength of 515–690 MPa, yield strength of about 205 MPa, and great ductility (elongation ~40%). Molybdenum adds resistance to chlorides and acid atmospheres. The forgings are weldable, corrosion-resistant, and mechanically strong in high-pressure and temperature environments. 316 can be hot forged and then annealed to enhance toughness and is thus best suited for vital load-bearing parts in severe conditions.

Yes, Stainless Steel 316 forgings can be shaped into custom forms using precision forging techniques, allowing for a wide range of applications in various industries, including marine and chemical sectors.
The ideal temperature range for forging Stainless Steel 316 is between 2100°F to 2300°F (1149°C to 1260°C), ensuring optimal ductility and minimizing the risk of cracking.
The forging process for Stainless Steel 316 typically takes from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the part's complexity, size, and required finishing.
Stainless Steel 316 Forgings find common application in pressure vessels, valves, pumps, and chemical and petrochemical plant pipe fittings. They find application in marine hardware and saltwater environments because they possess superior resistance to chloride attack. SS 316 is utilized in equipment for the pharmaceutical and food processing industries because of hygienic surface and corrosion resistance. Forged flanges, shafts, and blocks are utilized in heat exchangers, condensers, and pollution control equipment. Strength and durability of 316 forging make it ideal for critical structural and mechanical uses in the aerospace, auto, and energy industries.
