Technical Specifications

Performance & Features

1. Tensile Strength

Our stainless steel plate for sale series delivers exceptional mechanical performance across grades:

• Grade 201: Offers 520–750 MPa tensile strength, ideal for cost-sensitive structural applications like architectural grilles.
• Grade 304: Provides 515–700 MPa, widely used in food processing equipment and stainless steel perforated plate for filtration systems.
• Grade 316: Achieves 520–670 MPa with molybdenum-enhanced corrosion resistance, perfect for marine environments or stainless steel plate heat exchanger components.
  Compliance with ASTM A240 and ISO 3506 ensures material consistency, validated by Mill Test Reports (MTRs).

2. Bending Strength

Engineered for durability in demanding environments:

• Thin plates (≤6 mm) withstand 180° bends without cracking (per GB/T 232-2010), critical for forming stainless steel perforated plate edges or heat exchanger fins.
• Thick plates (>10 mm) require controlled radii (≥3× thickness) to prevent stress fractures in load-bearing frameworks.

3. Identification & Marking

Each plate is laser-etched with traceable identifiers:

• Grade designation (e.g., SUS304, 316L).
• Batch number, ISO 9001 certification mark, and grid pattern code (e.g., 10mm round perforation).

4. Weight Calculation

Calculate plate weight using the formula:
$\text{Weight (kg)}=\text{Thickness (mm)}\times \text{Width (m)}\times \text{Length (m)}\times 7.93(\text{Density})$
Example: A 1/4 in stainless steel plate (6.35 mm × 1.5 m × 3 m) weighs 226 kg – optimized for structural grilles or stainless steel plate heat exchanger cores.

5. Why Stainless Steel Can Rust?

Even corrosion-resistant grades like 316 may degrade under specific conditions:

• Chloride Exposure: Coastal environments or de-icing salts induce pitting in 304-grade steel.
• Mechanical Damage: Scratches from handling tools disrupt the chromium oxide layer, necessitating electropolished finishes for stainless steel perforated plate hygiene applications.
• Intergranular Corrosion: Improper welding in 316L reduces molybdenum’s chloride resistance, requiring post-weld annealing.

Applications

• Industrial: Stainless steel plate heat exchanger systems, chemical reactor linings (316 grade).
• Architectural: Stainless steel perforated plate facades, sunscreens, and acoustic panels (201/304 grades).
• Filtration: Precision-perforated sheets for water treatment and food processing.
• Marine: Corrosion-resistant platforms and railings (316 grade).
