Premium Flat Top Stove Stainless Steel Bar 60x5mm | ASTM A240

Premium Flat Top Stove Stainless Steel Bar 60x5mm | ASTM A240 Certified

Technical Specifications

Mechanical Properties

Tensile Strength:
Our stainless steel 304 flat bar delivers exceptional tensile strength of 515–720 MPa (Grade 304) and 530–850 MPa (Grade 316L), ensuring resistance to deformation under extreme thermal and mechanical loads. These values make it ideal for flat top griddle stainless steel systems in commercial kitchens or industrial heating equipment.

Bending Strength:
With yield strengths of 205–310 MPa (304) and 240–360 MPa (316L), the material maintains structural integrity even after repeated bending. This property is critical for curved components in stainless steel flat sheet assemblies or architectural frameworks requiring precise angles.

Weight Calculation

The weight of the bar is calculated using:
$\text{Weight (kg)}=\text{Width (m)}\times \text{Thickness (m)}\times \text{Length (m)}\times \text{Density (g/cm³)}\times 1000$
Example:
For a 60mm × 5mm × 6m piece (Grade 304):
$0.06\times 0.005\times 6\times 7.93\times 1000=14.27\text{kg}$
Custom weight charts are available for bulk orders.

Identification & Traceability

• Laser Marking: Permanent grade identification (e.g., "304" or "316L") and batch numbers for quality tracking.
• Mill Test Certificates (MTC): Includes chemical composition, mechanical properties, and compliance with ASTM/EN standards.
• QR Code Labels: Scan for real-time material traceability and certification access.

Why Stainless Steel Corrodes?

Despite its corrosion-resistant reputation, stainless steel can rust under specific conditions:

1. Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with dissimilar metals (e.g., carbon steel) in humid environments triggers electrochemical reactions, degrading the protective chromium oxide layer.
2. Chloride Exposure: Coastal or industrial settings with airborne chlorides penetrate the oxide film, causing pitting or stress corrosion cracking in Grade 304. Grade 316L’s molybdenum content mitigates this risk.
3. Organic Contamination: Food residues or acidic substances accelerate localized pitting, particularly in flat top griddle stainless steel surfaces if not cleaned promptly.
4. Mechanical Damage: Scratches from abrasive tools or improper handling expose the base metal to oxidation.

Prevention Strategies:

• Use Grade 316L for coastal or high-humidity installations.
• Clean surfaces with pH-neutral detergents; avoid chlorine-based cleaners.
• Apply passivation treatments post-fabrication to restore the chromium oxide layer.

Applications

• Flat Top Griddle Stainless Steel: Heat-resistant surfaces (up to 800°C) for commercial kitchens, ensuring even heat distribution and easy cleaning.
• Industrial Stoves: Structural frames and burner plates requiring thermal stability and corrosion resistance.
• Architectural Cladding: Durable facades and handrails in coastal or urban environments.
• Marine Hardware: Dock fittings and offshore platforms (Grade 316L recommended).
