Forging Stainless Steel Tube Sheet with Material SUS316L and Size Upto 2000mm

What is Forged SUS316L Stainless Steel Tube Sheet?

A Forged SUS316L Stainless Steel Tube Sheet is a high-performance industrial spare part crafted from top-grade SUS316L stainless steel via precision forging technology. Unlike cast tube sheets, the forging process enhances the material’s structural density, eliminating internal defects and significantly boosting its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This product is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of harsh industrial environments, where reliability, durability, and hygiene are non-negotiable.

Core Advantages of SUS316L Tube Sheet

The SUS316L stainless steel base material is the key to its superiority—infused with molybdenum (2.00～3.00%), it outperforms standard stainless steel grades in resisting acidic, alkaline, and chloride-containing media. The forging process further optimizes its tensile strength, elongation, and hardness, making the Forging Tube Sheet suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosion-prone applications. Additionally, its compliance with food and pharmaceutical hygiene standards makes it a trusted choice for hygiene-critical industries.

Typical Uses

Metallurgical Industry

Used in metallurgical step heating furnaces to recover high-temperature flue gas waste heat, preheat combustion air or gas, and improve furnace thermal efficiency. The corrosion-resistant tube sheet copes with acidic/alkaline media in metallurgical processes, extending equipment lifespan.

Chemical Industry

Integral to stainless steel tube heat exchangers for heating, cooling, condensation, and evaporation. Suitable for circulating water systems in chemistry, electronics, electroplating, semiconductors, and cooling towers—resisting corrosive chemicals and high pressure.

Food Industry

Applied in processing lines for milk, juice, beer, and other beverages. The hygienic SUS316L tube sheet ensures product safety, is easy to sanitize, and maintains consistent heating/cooling performance.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Critical for heat exchange in drug synthesis and formulation. Its corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability prevent contamination, adhering to strict pharmaceutical production standards.

Why choose SUS316L over other stainless steel grades for tube sheets?

SUS316L contains molybdenum, offering superior corrosion resistance against acids, alkalis, and chlorides—ideal for harsh industrial and hygiene-critical applications. 

What is the maximum diameter of your forged tube sheet?

We supply Forged SUS316L Stainless Steel Tube Sheets with a maximum diameter of 2000mm, customizable to smaller sizes based on your equipment needs.

What is the purpose of solution treatment for SUS316L?

Solution treatment (heating to 1010-1150℃ and rapid cooling) dissolves precipitated carbides, homogenizes the material structure, and restores optimal corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

Can the tube sheet be used in high-pressure environments?

Yes—its forging process and excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength ≥480MPa) make it suitable for high-pressure applications like chemical heat exchangers and industrial boilers.

Which delivery condition is best for food industry use?

We recommend “Forged + solution + turning + drilling”—the turned and drilled surface is smooth, easy to clean, and meets food hygiene requirements, avoiding residue buildup.

Is the product compliant with international standards?

Absolutely. Our SUS316L Tube Sheet meets ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards, ensuring compatibility with global industrial equipment and compliance with food/pharmaceutical safety regulations.
