316L Stainless Steel Sheet 0.5mm, GB/T 4237, Low Weight, Solar/Wind Energy Components
The 316L stainless steel sheet (0.5mm thickness) is an ultra-thin, low-carbon austenitic stainless steel designed for lightweight and high-performance applications. Compliant with GB/T 4237, it delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, weldability, and sustainability, making it ideal for renewable energy sectors like solar and wind power. The reduced carbon content (≤0.03%) minimizes intergranular corrosion risks, while its lightweight nature (approx. 8.0 kg/m²) ensures easy handling and installation in energy-efficient systems. Engineered for harsh outdoor environments, it resists pitting from saltwater, UV exposure, and acidic pollutants, guaranteeing longevity in solar panel frames, wind turbine housings, and energy storage units.
