High-Performance Stainless Steel Plates | Export-Optimized 304/316 Workshop Plates

Product Specifications

Mechanical & Physical Properties

Tensile Strength

Our 304/316 stainless steel plates exhibit exceptional tensile strength, ensuring structural integrity under heavy loads.

• 304: Minimum 520 MPa (75,000 psi)
• 316: Minimum 620 MPa (90,000 psi)
  This resistance to deformation makes them ideal for pressure vessels, marine components, and chemical processing equipment.

Bending Strength

The high ductility of austenitic stainless steel allows for precise bending without cracking. Cold-rolled plates (e.g., 0.5–3mm thickness) achieve a bending radius of 1–2 times the material thickness, while hot-rolled plates (≥4mm) require 3–4 times.

Identification & Marking

Stainless steel grades are laser-etched or stamped with standardized codes:

• 304: UNS S30400 / AISI 304
• 316: UNS S31600 / AISI 316
  Certificates include mill test reports (MTRs) detailing chemical composition, heat treatment, and compliance with ASTM/EN standards.
  
  

Weight Calculation Formula

Calculate plate weight using:
Weight (kg)=Thickness (mm)×Width (m)×Length (m)×7.93(Density of SS, g/cm3)
Example: A 3mm × 1.5m × 6m 304 plate weighs $3\times 1.5\times 6\times 7.93=214.11\text{kg}$.

Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?

While stainless steel resists corrosion, improper use or environmental factors may cause rust:

1. Low Chromium Content: Grades with <10.5% Cr lose passivation layer integrity.
2. Chloride Exposure: Coastal or chemical environments accelerate pitting in 304; 316’s molybdenum enhances chloride resistance.
3. Poor Manufacturing: Substandard smelting leaves impurities, reducing corrosion resistance.
4. Mechanical Damage: Scratches or welding without post-treatment expose raw metal to oxidation.

Applications & Customization

• Industrial: Chemical tanks, heat exchangers, ion plated stainless steel durability components for aerospace.
• Architectural: Decorative façades, Lutron stainless steel wall plate systems, handrails.
• Consumer Goods: Kitchenware, medical tools, is gold plated stainless steel good for jewelry (corrosion-resistant base).
