Mechanical & Chemical Attributes
Tensile & Bend Strength
The 316 stainless steel plate exhibits a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa, ensuring structural integrity under heavy loads. Its bend strength, calculated as 1.5 × Tensile Strength, reaches 772.5 MPa, enabling resistance to deformation in applications like stainless steel camping plates subjected to rugged outdoor use.
Weight Calculation
Weight per square meter (kg/m²) = Thickness (mm) × 8.0 (Density).
Example: A 3mm plate weighs 24 kg/m², optimizing portability for stainless steel bowl plates without compromising strength.
Identification Marking
Plates are laser-etched with Grade (316/316L), ASTM Standard, Heat Number, and Supplier Code for traceability.
Why Stainless Steel Rusts? Key Causes Explained
While 316 stainless steel plate is highly corrosion-resistant, improper handling or environmental factors can lead to localized rusting:
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with saltwater or chlorine (e.g., marine environments) may trigger pitting corrosion.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or abrasions from steel wool or tools disrupt the chromium oxide layer, exposing the base metal to oxidation.
- High-Temperature Oxidation: Sustained exposure above 800°C depletes chromium content, reducing corrosion resistance.
- Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with carbon steel or dissimilar metals in humid conditions accelerates rusting.
- Acidic/Caustic Contamination: Residual chemicals (e.g., bleach, acids) degrade the passive film.
Preventive Measures:
- Use 316L (low-carbon variant) for welded components to avoid chromium carbide precipitation.
- Clean surfaces regularly with pH-neutral detergents and avoid abrasive tools.
Applications
- Industrial: Chemical tanks, heat exchangers, marine hardware.
- Food & Hospitality: Stainless steel bowl plates, cutlery, commercial kitchen countertops.
- Outdoor Gear: Durable stainless steel camping plates, cookware, and portable stoves.
