Detailed Product Features
Tensile Strength
304 Stainless Steel: Exhibits a tensile strength of 520 MPa and yield strength of 205 MPa. This ensures durability under heavy loads, making it ideal for structural components.
316 Stainless Steel: Offers slightly higher tensile strength (≥515 MPa) and superior corrosion resistance due to molybdenum content, suitable for harsh environments like marine applications.
Bend Strength
Both grades demonstrate excellent bendability. 304 stainless steel achieves a minimum bend radius of 1x thickness (annealed condition), while 316 maintains similar flexibility but with enhanced resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
Identification Standards
- ASTM/AISI: 304 (UNS S30400) and 316 (UNS S31600) .
- ISO: 1.4301 (304) and 1.4401/1.4436 (316) .
- Surface Marking: Laser-etched logos for traceability, including batch numbers and compliance certifications (e.g., ISO 9001).
Weight Calculation
Use the formula:
Example: A 1m x 2m x 3mm stainless steel plate weighs .
Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?
While stainless steel resists oxidation, improper handling can cause localized corrosion:
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with saltwater or chlorides may trigger pitting in 304; 316’s molybdenum mitigates this .
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or weld zones without passivation reduce chromium oxide layer effectiveness .
- Thermal Stress: Overheating during fabrication can alter microstructure, increasing susceptibility .
