GNEE offers high-quality ASTM A240 316L 2B stainless steel sheets from top steel mills such as Taiyuan Iron & Steel and Baosteel. These sheets feature strictly controlled carbon content (≤0.03%), chromium content (16.0% to 18.5%), nickel content (10.0% to 14.0%), molybdenum content (2.0% to 3.0%), and a PREN value greater than 32, exhibiting excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride corrosion.
GNEE provides ASTM A240 316L 2B surface-treated stainless steel sheets conforming to ASME SA240 standards, with thicknesses ranging from 0.3mm to 50mm, widths from 1000mm to 2000mm, and lengths from 2000mm to 6000mm. Custom cutting, laser finishing, and slitting services are also available.
316L stainless steel 2B sheet features a smooth, matte, and uniformly glossy surface, ideal for deep drawing, polishing, and machining. It boasts a complete EN 10204 3.1 material testing certificate (MTC), SGS, and TUV certification reports, and is widely used in food machinery, medical devices, chemical storage, marine engineering, and architectural decoration. Each batch undergoes ultrasonic testing, hardness testing, and dimensional inspection. Tolerances for thin sheets are controlled within ±0.05mm, and for thick sheets within ±0.5mm, ensuring stable quality and timely delivery. Our products are exported to over 50 countries and regions.

What is the price of ASTM A240 316L 2B stainless steel sheet?
The price of ASTM A240 316L 2B stainless steel sheets typically ranges from $900 to $2,200 per ton for bulk orders, or roughly $2.50 to $4.00+ per kg depending on thickness and supplier. The 2B finish indicates a cold-rolled, smooth, reflective surface suitable for food processing, pharmaceuticals, and marine applications, with common thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 3mm.
Quality Inspection：
We have long-term partnerships with international third-party testing organizations such as SGS, TUV, Intertek, and BV. Customers can request PMI (Protein Mix Inspection), thickness sampling, or surface quality checks before shipment.
For 2B cold-rolled surfaces, we conduct meticulous visual and tactile inspections to ensure a uniform and defect-free surface, crucial for customers planning subsequent polishing or high-precision laser cutting. Dimensional accuracy is verified according to ASTM A480 standards, with particular attention to thickness tolerances, flatness, and perpendicularity to prevent issues during processing.
Standard export packaging:
Thickened wooden or iron pallets are used, with moisture-proof paper added to the bottom.
Metal corner protectors are added to all four corners to prevent damage during transport.
The entire bundle is wrapped in waterproof woven fabric to resist salt spray corrosion during ocean shipping.
