Top-Tier Stainless Steel Metal Plate | 316L Sheets & 2B Polish

Product Specifications

Key Properties

1. Tensile & Yield Strength

   • 316L: Offers tensile strength of 485–620 MPa (70,340–89,923 psi) and yield strength ≥205 MPa (29,740 psi). The low carbon content (≤0.03%) minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring corrosion resistance in welded joints.
   • Cold-Rolled Grades: Enhanced strength (up to 550 MPa) for structural applications like stainless steel weight plates and industrial machinery.

2. Bend Strength & Ductility

   • 316L exhibits ≥40% elongation, allowing severe bending without cracking. Its austenitic structure ensures flexibility for curved designs in stainless steel deck plates or architectural façades.
   • Cold-rolled sheets maintain dimensional stability even under repeated stress, ideal for camping stainless steel plates exposed to outdoor temperature fluctuations.

3. Corrosion Resistance

   • Molybdenum (2–3%) and chromium (16–18%) form a self-healing oxide layer, resisting pitting in chloride-rich environments (e.g., marine or coastal applications).
   • 2B Polish provides a smooth, non-porous surface, reducing bacterial growth for food-grade or medical uses.

Identification & Marking

• ASTM/EN Standards: 316L corresponds to 1.4404 (EN) and UNS S31603 (ASTM).
• Laser-etched codes ensure traceability, including heat batch numbers, grade certifications, and mill test reports (MTR).

Weight Calculation

Use the formula:
$\text{Weight (kg)}=\text{Thickness (mm)}\times \text{Width (m)}\times \text{Length (m)}\times \text{Density (7.93 g/cm³)}$
Example: A 5 mm thick 316L sheet (1.2m × 2.4m) weighs:
$5\times 1.2\times 2.4\times 7.93=114.5\text{kg}$

Why Stainless Steel Rusts?

Despite its name, corrosion occurs under specific conditions:

1. Chloride Exposure: Saltwater or de-icing agents penetrate the oxide layer, causing pitting.
2. Mechanical Damage: Scratches from abrasive tools expose the iron matrix to oxygen, initiating rust.
3. Low Oxygen Environments: Stagnant water or crevices prevent oxide layer regeneration, leading to crevice corrosion.
4. High-Temperature Oxidation: Prolonged exposure above 870°C degrades protective films, accelerating scaling.

Applications

• Camping Stainless Steel Plates: Lightweight (0.3–3 mm) and hygienic 2B/BA finishes for outdoor cooking and portable food trays.
• Stainless Steel Deck Plates: Brushed (No.4) or hairline (HL) surfaces for anti-slip architectural cladding, marine platforms, and industrial walkways.
• Stainless Steel Weight Plates: Precision-cut cold-rolled sheets (6–30 mm) for gym equipment, with high load-bearing capacity (≥550 MPa).
