Key Attributes & Manufacturing Process
-
Enhanced Durability:
- The carbonitrided surface layer (0.4 mm depth) provides exceptional wear resistance, achieving Rockwell C hardness ≥66, ideal for high-traffic areas like staircases and heavy duty stainless steel license plate frames.
- The ductile core (45–54 HRC) prevents brittle fractures, ensuring structural integrity under dynamic loads.
-
Corrosion Resistance:
- Chromium content (16–20%)
forms a passive oxide layer, resisting rust in humid or coastal environments. Suitable for house name plate stainless steel applications. - 316L variant includes 2–3% molybdenum, enhancing chloride resistance.
- Chromium content (16–20%)
-
Precision Manufacturing:
- Cold-rolled homogenous armor (RHA) or high-hard armor (HHA)
ensures uniform thickness and mechanical properties. - Laser-cut edges and CNC-bent profiles enable seamless integration with railings and grids.
- Cold-rolled homogenous armor (RHA) or high-hard armor (HHA)
Technical Explanations
Tensile Strength
Tensile strength measures the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking. Our 304 stainless steel offers 515–1035 MPa, while 316L reaches 700–900 MPa, making it suitable for load-bearing structures like ground stainless steel plate flooring. Higher tensile values correlate with improved resistance to deformation under tension.
Bend Strength
Bend strength (1.5× tensile strength) ranges from 750–1550 MPa for 304. This property ensures the steel retains shape even after forming complex profiles, critical for architectural grids and curved stair components.
Identification Methods
- ASTM Standards: Grades like 304 (UNS S30400) and 316L (UNS S31603)
are marked via laser etching or embossing. - JIS Codes: SUS304 or SUS316L identifiers comply with Japanese industrial standards.
Why Stainless Steel May Rust
Despite its corrosion resistance, localized rust can occur due to:
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal salt or de-icing chemicals degrade the passive layer.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or welding defects expose the core to oxidation.
- Improper Cleaning: Residual iron particles from tools accelerate galvanic corrosion.
