Key Properties & Performance
Tensile and Bending Strength
The stainless steel baking sheet exhibits exceptional tensile strength (515–860 MPa for 304 grade) due to its austenitic microstructure. This ensures resistance to deformation under heavy loads, such as industrial baking trays supporting 50–100 lbs. Bending strength is enhanced by cold-rolled processing, allowing the sheet to withstand repeated flexing without cracking—ideal for high-volume food production lines.
Weight Calculation
Use the formula to estimate sheet weight:
Example: A 24"x36" 16 GA (0.063") sheet weighs:
Rust Prevention & Causes
While stainless steel sheet metal is corrosion-resistant, rust may occur due to:
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with salt or acidic foods degrades the chromium oxide layer.
- Mechanical Scratches: Abrasive cleaning tools disrupt surface integrity, accelerating oxidation.
- Low Oxygen Environments: Stagnant moisture in crevices inhibits self-repair of the passive layer.
- Carbon Contamination: Improper welding introduces carbon, causing intergranular corrosion.
Manufacturing & Identification
Production Process
- Cold Rolling: Raw 304/316L coils are cold-rolled to achieve precise stainless steel sheet gauge chart specifications.
- Annealing & Pickling: Heat-treated at 1010–1120°C to restore ductility, followed by acid bath cleaning.
- Mirror Polishing: Electrolytic polishing with 800–1500-grit abrasives creates a Ra ≤0.02μm surface.
- Laser Cutting: CNC-guided lasers ensure ±0.5mm accuracy for custom shapes.
Identification Markings
Each sheet is laser-etched with:
- Grade (304/316L)
- Thickness (GA/mm) per stainless steel sheet gauge chart
- Heat Number for traceability
- Compliance Marks (ASTM/ISO)
