Performance Attributes
1. Tensile & Bend Strength
The S31600 grade combines high tensile strength (520–720 MPa) with exceptional bend resistance (1.5× tensile strength) due to its austenitic microstructure stabilized by 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum. This makes it ideal for heavy-duty applications like structural beams, stainless steel griddle plates, or marine hardware. The material retains its integrity under dynamic loads up to 500°C, preventing deformation or cracking.
2. Identification & Certification
- ASTM Standards: Laser-etched UNS S31600 identifiers ensure traceability.
- EN 1.4401 Compliance: Meets EU standards for chemical composition and mechanical properties.
- Surface Marking: Includes mill codes, heat numbers, and stainless steel gold plated chain compatibility notes for industrial tracking.
3. Weight Calculation
Use the formula:
For example, a stainless steel gold plate with a 3 mm thickness and 2 m² area weighs 47.58 kg.
4. Causes of Stainless Steel Rust
Despite its corrosion resistance, localized rust may occur due to:
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal salt or industrial chemicals degrade the passive chromium oxide layer.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or improper welding expose the base metal to oxidation.
- Thermal Stress: Rapid temperature changes (e.g., in stainless steel griddle plates) can induce micro-cracks, accelerating corrosion.
Material Advantages
Enhanced Durability
- Molybdenum Boost: 2–3% molybdenum enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it suitable for marine or chemical environments.
- High-Temperature Stability: Retains 85% of its strength at 500°C, ideal for industrial ovens or exhaust systems.
Precision Manufacturing
- HL Polishing: Achieves ≤Ra 0.1 μm surface roughness for stainless steel gold plate aesthetics or hygienic food-grade surfaces.
- Laser Cutting: Tolerance ±0.1 mm ensures seamless integration into architectural grids or machinery.
Sustainability
- 100% Recyclable: Reduces environmental impact and lifecycle costs.
