Key Properties & Performance
Tensile & Bending Strength
Our stainless steel childrens plates are engineered for exceptional durability. Grade 304 plates achieve a tensile strength of 515–720 MPa, resisting deformation even under heavy daily use. Grade 316, enhanced with 2–3% molybdenum, provides superior bend resistance (minimum bending radius of 1.5× thickness), ideal for curved designs in stainless steel plated brass accessories or structural components like stainless steel railroad tie plates.
Corrosion Resistance
The chromium oxide layer (≥18% Cr content) ensures rust resistance in diverse environments:
- Food Safety: Resists acidic foods (pH 2–10) without leaching metals, meeting EU Regulation 1935/2004 for children’s products.
- Outdoor Use: Withstands salt spray exposure (1,000+ hours per ASTM B117), perfect for stainless steel railroad tie plates in coastal regions.
Weight Calculation
Use the formula for precise estimates:
Example: A 10"×10" (0.254×0.254 m) Grade 304 plate weighs .
Why Stainless Steel Rusts?
Rust is rare but possible due to:
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or road salts (e.g., in stainless steel railroad tie plates) may cause pitting. Grade 316 mitigates this risk.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches from abrasive cleaners compromise the oxide layer. Our electropolished finish (Ra ≤0.1µm) reduces adhesion of contaminants.
- Low-Quality Welding: Improper welding during fabrication (e.g., for stainless steel plated brass hybrid components) creates weak points. Our laser-welded seams eliminate this issue.
Manufacturing Excellence
| Process | Description |
|---|---|
| Cold Rolling | Achieves ultra-smooth surfaces (Ra ≤0.2µm) for safe stainless steel childrens plates edges. |
| Laser Cutting | ±0.1mm precision for custom shapes compatible with stainless steel plated brass fasteners. |
| Passivation | Nitric acid treatment removes iron contaminants, boosting corrosion resistance by 40%. |
Applications
- Child-Friendly Dining: Non-porous stainless steel childrens plates prevent bacterial growth, dishwasher-safe up to 500 cycles.
- Industrial Hybrids: Seamless integration with stainless steel plated brass hinges for lunchboxes.
- Infrastructure: Grade 316 used in stainless steel railroad tie plates for high-load rail systems.
Why Choose Our Stainless Steel Plates?
- Certified Safety: Compliant with FDA, EU, and CPSC standards for children’s products.
- Precision Engineering: Tolerances tighter than ISO 2768-f, ensuring perfect fit for stainless steel plated brass components.
- Global Sourcing: Conflict-free materials traceable via Mill Test Reports (MTRs), avoiding EU safeguard tariffs on non-compliant steel.
- Legal Assurance: Rigorous quality checks prevent disputes like the SS304 delivery lawsuit in, ensuring contractual compliance.
- Sustainability: 100% recyclable, with 70% lower carbon footprint vs. plastic alternatives.
