Durable Stainless Steel Flat Stock – 60x5mm Precision-Cut

Durable Stainless Steel Flat Stock – 60x5mm Precision-Cut

Technical Specifications

Mechanical Properties

Tensile Strength:
Our stainless steel flat stock boasts a tensile strength of 500–700 MPa (Grade 304) and 550–800 MPa (Grade 316), ensuring exceptional resistance to deformation under heavy loads. This makes it ideal for high-stress applications like stainless steel flat grill components or industrial machinery parts.

Bending Strength:
With a yield strength of 200–300 MPa (Grade 304) and 250–350 MPa (Grade 316), the material retains structural integrity even when subjected to repeated bending. This property is critical for applications such as flat top griddle stainless steel bases or architectural supports requiring precise angles.

Weight Calculation

The weight of the flat stock can be calculated using the formula:
$\text{Weight (kg)}=\text{Width (m)}\times \text{Thickness (m)}\times \text{Length (m)}\times \text{Density (g/cm³)}\times 1000$
Example:
For a 60mm × 5mm × 2m piece:
$0.06\times 0.005\times 2\times 7.93\times 1000=4.758\text{kg}$

Identification & Marking

• Laser Etching: Permanent grade identification (e.g., "304" or "316") for traceability.
• Mill Test Certificates (MTC): Provided with chemical composition and mechanical test results.
• Surface Markings: Compliance with ASTM A480 standards for industrial use.

Why Stainless Steel Corrodes?

Despite its name, stainless steel can rust under specific conditions:

1. Electrochemical Corrosion: Contact with dissimilar metals (e.g., iron particles) in humid environments triggers galvanic reactions, breaking the protective chromium oxide layer.
2. Organic Contamination: Food residues or organic acids (e.g., fruit juices) accelerate localized pitting if not cleaned promptly.
3. Chemical Exposure: Chlorides (seawater) or sulfur compounds in polluted air degrade the oxide film, leading to stress corrosion cracking.
4. Mechanical Damage: Scratches or abrasions expose the base metal to oxygen, initiating oxidation.

Prevention Tips:

• Regular cleaning with pH-neutral detergents.
• Use grade 316 in coastal areas for superior chloride resistance.
• Avoid abrasive tools during installation.

Applications

• Stainless Steel Flat Top Grills: Heat-resistant and easy-to-clean surfaces for commercial kitchens.
• Architectural Trim: Corrosion-resistant window frames, handrails, and decorative features.
• Industrial Machinery: Load-bearing brackets, conveyor systems, and tooling components.
• Marine Hardware: Dock fittings and offshore structures (Grade 316 recommended).
