Technical Specifications

Performance & Features

1. Tensile Strength

Our stainless steel plate gauge thickness series combines structural integrity with corrosion resistance, ideal for high-traffic architectural applications:

• Grade 304: Delivers 515–700 MPa tensile strength, perfect for stair treads and handrails in urban environments.
• Grade 316L: Provides 520–670 MPa with molybdenum-enhanced resistance to coastal salt spray, ideal for seaside infrastructure.
• Grade 2205 Duplex: Achieves 620–900 MPa, doubling the yield strength of standard 304 for heavy-load bridges and industrial platforms.
  Compliance with ASTM A240 and ISO 3506 ensures material consistency, validated by Mill Test Reports (MTRs).

2. Bending Strength

Engineered to meet stringent architectural demands:

• Thin plates (≤6 mm) achieve 180° bends without cracking (per GB/T 232-2010), critical for curved stainless steel plate for grill designs or decorative railings.
• Thick plates (>10 mm) require controlled radii (≥3× thickness) to prevent stress fractures in structural supports like cantilevered walkways.

3. Identification & Marking

Each plate is laser-etched for traceability and compliance:

• Grade designation (e.g., SUS304, 316L, 2205).
• Batch code, heat number, and ASTM certification marks for quality assurance.
  Custom stainless steel plate gauge thickness chart QR codes are available for real-time specification verification.

4. Weight Calculation

Optimize structural designs with the formula:
$\text{Weight (kg)}=\text{Thickness (mm)}\times \text{Width (m)}\times \text{Length (m)}\times 7.93(\text{Density})$
Example: A 1/4 in stainless steel plate (6.35 mm × 1.5 m × 3 m) weighs 226 kg – ideal for modular staircases or stainless steel plate for grill assemblies.

5. Why Stainless Steel Can Rust?

Even high-grade stainless steel may degrade under specific conditions:

• Chloride Exposure: Coastal or de-icing environments induce pitting in 304-grade steel.
• Mechanical Damage: Scratches from construction tools disrupt the chromium oxide layer, necessitating electropolished finishes for stainless steel plate for grill hygiene.
• Intergranular Corrosion: Improper welding in 316L reduces molybdenum’s chloride resistance, requiring post-weld annealing.
  Preventative measures include pH-neutral cleaning and avoiding galvanic coupling with carbon steel.

Applications

• Architectural: Staircases, railings, façade cladding (stainless steel plate gauge thickness variants).
• Outdoor Infrastructure: Bridges, boardwalks (316L grade for salt resistance).
• Commercial Kitchens: Stainless steel plate for grill systems, ventilation hoods (mirror-finished 304).
• Industrial Platforms: Heavy-duty walkways (2205 duplex grade).
