Key Features & Applications
1. Superior Strength & Durability
- Tensile Strength: S31600 offers a minimum tensile strength of 520 MPa, ensuring structural integrity under heavy loads.
- Bend Strength: Excellent ductility allows cold forming and bending without cracking, making it ideal for stainless steel transom plate applications in architectural frameworks.
2. Corrosion Resistance
Resists pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride stress corrosion cracking, perfect for stainless steel weir plates in marine and chemical environments.
3. Heat Resistance
Maintains mechanical stability up to 870°C, suitable for high-temperature industrial equipment.
4. Surface Options
Choose from polished, brushed, or embossed finishes for aesthetic or functional needs, such as stainless steel switch plate covers in electrical systems.
Performance Details
1. Weight Calculation
Calculate plate weight using:
Weight (kg) = Thickness (mm) × Width (m) × Length (m) × Density (7.98)
Example: A 10mm × 1.5m × 3m plate weighs 359.1 kg.
2. Marking & Identification
Plates are laser-etched with grade (S31600/316L), thickness, heat number, and certification (EN 10204/3.1).
3. Why Stainless Steel Rusts?
While S31600 is highly corrosion-resistant, rust can occur due to:
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts damages the passive chromium oxide layer.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or abrasions expose the iron substrate to oxidation.
- Low Oxygen Environments: Stagnant water or sludge inhibits oxide layer regeneration.
- Chemical Contamination: Acids or alkalis (e.g., industrial cleaners) accelerate corrosion.
