Neil Metals, located in Kolkata, India, stands out as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Stainless Steel 316 Forgings. These components are designed for exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. With a reputation for precision manufacturing and strict adherence to international standards, Neil Metals provides forged products that excel in demanding applications across various industries, including marine, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and food production. Their dedication to quality, customization, and timely delivery allows them to cater to both domestic and global markets, ensuring that their Stainless Steel 316 Forgings deliver long-lasting performance even in harsh and corrosive environments.
Stainless Steel 316 Forgings are made up of about 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, with the rest being iron and small amounts of carbon, manganese, silicon, and phosphorus. This unique blend gives them outstanding corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and acidic conditions. They boast impressive mechanical properties, including a tensile strength ranging from 515 to 700 MPa and a yield strength of around 205 MPa, along with good ductility and toughness. The inclusion of molybdenum further enhances their resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making these forgings perfect for high-temperature and high-humidity settings.

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 extensive use in industries that demand superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. In the marine industry, they are commonly used for shafts, fasteners, and underwater components that face saltwater exposure. The chemical and petrochemical sectors utilize them for valves, pumps, and pressure vessels that handle aggressive chemicals. In pharmaceuticals and food processing, 316 forgings are the go-to choice for hygienic equipment and sanitary fittings. They are also employed in construction, pulp and paper, and medical devices, where corrosion resistance, weldability, and long-term durability are crucial. Their reliability in extreme environments makes them an essential component across these diverse applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
