Custom Stainless Steel Metal Plate | 316L Grade & ISO 9001 Certified Industrial Solutions

Technical Specifications

Mechanical & Physical Properties

Tensile Strength

The 316L stainless steel plate excels in tensile strength, making it ideal for corrosive and high-stress environments.

• Minimum Tensile Strength: 485 MPa (70,300 psi)
• Yield Strength: 170 MPa (24,700 psi)
  This ensures durability in applications like chemical processing tanks, marine components, and pharmaceutical equipment.

Bending Strength

Austenitic 316L’s high ductility allows for complex forming without cracking:

• Cold-Rolled Plates (0.3–3mm): Bend radii of 1–2× thickness.
• Hot-Rolled Plates (≥4mm): Bend radii of 3–4× thickness.
  This flexibility supports fabrication of stainless steel small plates for precision machinery and architectural cladding.

Identification & Marking

Each plate is traceable via laser etching or stamped codes:

• 316L: UNS S31603 / ASTM A240 / EN 1.4404
  Mill Test Reports (MTRs) validate chemical composition (16–18% Cr, 10–14% Ni, 2–3% Mo) and mechanical properties.

Weight Calculation Formula

Calculate plate weight using:
Weight (kg)=Thickness (mm)×Width (m)×Length (m)×7.93(Density of SS, g/cm3)
Example: A 2mm × 1.2m × 2.4m 316L plate weighs:
$2\times 1.2\times 2.4\times 7.93=45.84\text{kg}$
This formula aids logistics planning for stainless steel plates wholesale orders.

Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?

Though 316L resists corrosion, specific conditions may cause rust:

1. Chloride Exposure: Coastal or chemical environments induce pitting. 316L’s molybdenum (2–3%) mitigates but doesn’t eliminate this risk.
2. Intergranular Corrosion: Poor welding without post-annealing depletes chromium near grain boundaries.
3. Mechanical Damage: Scratches or grinding expose the base metal to oxidation.
4. High-Temperature Oxidation: Prolonged exposure above 800°C degrades the passive layer.
5. Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with carbon steel or iron contaminants triggers electrochemical reactions.
