Pankh Stainless (India)

SS 316 is a type of austenitic stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and other industrial solvents. SS 316 stainless steel shims are thin, flat pieces of metal used to fill gaps or provide precise spacing between parts in machinery, equipment, or structural systems. These shims are made from 316 stainless steel, which is one of the most commonly used grades of stainless steel in industries that require high resistance to corrosion and high temperature.

• Corrosion Resistance: SS 316 offers excellent resistance to corrosion, especially in chloride environments like marine, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications.
• Strength: SS 316 has higher strength and durability than some other stainless steel alloys like SS 304.
• Temperature Resistance: It can withstand temperatures up to 870°C (1600°F) in intermittent service and 925°C (1700°F) in continuous service.
• Formability: The material is highly formable, making it suitable for manufacturing shims and other parts that require precision.
• Weldability: SS 316 has good weldability, which is beneficial in various applications that require welded components.
• Non-magnetic: SS 316 is typically non-magnetic, which is important in many industrial applications where magnetic properties may interfere with equipment operation.

1. Industrial Equipment and Machinery:

   • Used to align or level machinery components.
   • Shim washers help distribute the load and reduce wear on the machine parts.
   • In pumps, turbines, motors, and other machinery where precision alignment is essential.

2. Marine and Offshore Applications:

   • SS 316 shims are used in marine environments, particularly in saltwater, because they resist pitting and corrosion in highly corrosive environments.

3. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries:

   • Used in systems exposed to aggressive chemicals, particularly in equipment like reactors, heat exchangers, and pipelines.

4. Aerospace and High-Temperature Applications:

   • In industries requiring high heat resistance, like aerospace, automotive, and energy industries.
   • SS 316 can maintain integrity in high-temperature conditions.

5. Construction and Structural Engineering:

   • Used for leveling and alignment of structural steel elements where durability against the elements is crucial.
