Technical Properties
Tensile Strength
The stainless steel license plate frame boasts a tensile yield strength of 207 MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 517 MPa. This ensures exceptional resistance to deformation under heavy loads, making it ideal for harsh weather conditions and off-road use. The high chromium-nickel content in 304-grade steel enhances intergranular corrosion resistance, preventing stress cracking.
Bend Strength
With a Young’s Modulus of 193 GPa, the frame maintains structural integrity even under repeated bending stress. The cold-rolling process aligns the grain structure, achieving uniform hardness and reducing brittleness.
Weight Calculation
Weight = Volume × Density
- Volume: 12.3" × 6.1" × 0.047" (1.2 mm) = 3.56 cubic inches
- Density of 304 Steel: 7.9 g/cm³ (0.285 lb/in³)
- Total Weight: 3.56 × 0.285 ≈ 1.01 lbs (including fasteners)
Why Stainless Steel Rusts?
While stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, rust can occur in specific conditions:
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal or de-icing salt environments degrade the passive chromium oxide layer.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or dents expose raw iron to oxygen, initiating oxidation.
- Low Chromium Content: Substandard alloys (<10.5% chromium) fail to self-heal.
Our 304-grade steel addresses these risks with 18% chromium and 8% nickel, ensuring continuous oxide layer regeneration.
Marking & Identification
- Laser Engraving: Permanent branding for logos/text (depth: 0.2 mm).
- Edge Stamping: Batch numbers and compliance codes (ISO 7591:1982).
- Electropolishing: Removes surface impurities, enhancing laser clarity.
Compatibility & Use Cases
- Vehicles: Cars, motorcycles, trucks (fits all US/European plates).
- Styling: Pairs seamlessly with stainless steel dumpling and dip plate or stainless steel sushi and dip plate for a unified kitchen-to-garage aesthetic.
- Industrial: Suitable for marine, chemical, and high-humidity environments.
