Product Specifications

Technical Properties

Tensile & Bend Strength

Our 304L stainless steel plate offers a tensile strength of ≥520 MPa and yield strength of ≥205 MPa, ideal for applications requiring weldability and corrosion resistance in mild environments. The S31600 alloy (316L) excels in harsher conditions, with tensile strength up to 860 MPa and enhanced resistance to pitting/crevice corrosion due to 2-3% molybdenum content. For structural integrity, blaze stainless steel griddle plate variants undergo cold rolling to achieve bend strength 1.5x higher than annealed grades, perfect for high-stress components like industrial griddles or marine fixtures.

Weight Calculation

Use the formula:
$\text{Weight (kg/m²)}=\text{Thickness (mm)}\times 7.93(\text{Density, g/cm³})$
Example: A blanchard ground stainless steel plate (6mm thick) weighs ~47.6 kg/m². For custom profiles (e.g., black stainless steel plate with embossed patterns), add 5–8% to account for surface texture.

Identification Methods

• ASTM/EN Standards: Laser-etched codes (e.g., "S31600" for molybdenum-enriched grades).
• Surface Marking: QR codes traceable to heat numbers, chemical analysis, and mill test reports.

Why Stainless Steel Rusts & Prevention

While stainless steel resists rust through its chromium oxide layer (≥10.5% Cr), specific conditions compromise this protection:

1. Chloride Exposure: Saltwater or bleach triggers pitting corrosion, especially in S31600 with insufficient post-weld cleaning.
2. Mechanical Damage: Scratches on black stainless steel plate expose the base metal to oxidation. Use non-abrasive cleaners to preserve the PVD coating.
3. Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with dissimilar metals (e.g., aluminum) accelerates degradation. Isolation pads or dielectric coatings are recommended.
4. Organic Contaminants: Food acids or pollutants degrade the passive layer. Regular cleaning with pH-neutral solutions is critical.

Applications

• Industrial: blaze stainless steel griddle plate for high-temperature food processing; S31600 for chemical tanks.
• Architectural: black stainless steel plate (HL finish) for elevator panels and façades.
• Automotive: blanchard ground stainless steel plate for precision engine components.
