Key Attributes
-
Tensile Strength:
making it ideal for high-stress environments like marine structures or chemical plants. AISI 304 provides a minimum tensile strength of 485 MPa, suitable for general architectural use.
AISI 316L exhibits superior tensile strength (480–560 MPa), -
Bending Strength:
Both grades demonstrate excellent formability. The bending strength of stainless steel transition strip typically ranges between 1.5–2× tensile strength, ensuring resistance to deformation under load. -
Identification Methods:
- Grade Marking: Laser-etched labels (e.g., "304" or "316L") on the strip edge.
- Chemical Analysis: Verified via XRF (X-ray fluorescence) for Cr (16–18% in 316L), Ni (10–14% in 316L), and Mo (2–3% in 316L).
-
Weight Calculation:
Formula:- AISI 304 density: 7.93 g/cm³
- AISI 316L density: 8.00 g/cm³
-
Why Stainless Steel Rusts:
Despite high corrosion resistance, localized rust may occur due to:- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts can break down the passive oxide layer.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or abrasions expose raw steel to oxygen and moisture.
- Improper Heat Treatment: Residual stresses from welding or grinding may accelerate corrosion.
