Mechanical & Functional Properties
Tensile Strength
Stainless steel plates in grades 304 and 316L exhibit tensile strengths ranging from 515 MPa to 930 MPa, making them ideal for high-stress applications such as industrial machinery, automotive frames, and stainless steel license plate screws. The 316L variant, with its low carbon content, minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring structural integrity even in corrosive environments like marine or chemical processing.
Bend Strength
These plates maintain exceptional bend strength due to their austenitic microstructure. For example, 304-grade plates achieve a minimum bend radius of 1x thickness (1mm–3mm), while 316L’s molybdenum content enhances resistance to pitting in chloride-rich settings.
Weight Calculation
Formula:
Weight (kg) = Thickness (mm) × Width (m) × Length (m) × Density (g/cm³)
Example: A 2mm × 1.2m × 2.4m stainless steel plate (304 grade) weighs 2 × 1.2 × 2.4 × 8.0 = 46.08 kg.
Why Stainless Steel Rusts?
While stainless steel plates are corrosion-resistant, improper handling or environmental factors can cause rust:
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal environments or de-icing salts accelerate pitting corrosion in 304-grade steel.
- Contamination: Iron particles from tools or storage areas trigger galvanic corrosion.
- Welding Issues: Poor welding techniques (e.g., inadequate shielding gas) reduce 316L’s intergranular corrosion resistance.
