Versatile Stainless Steel Metal Plate | 304L & 2B Surface Options

Product Specifications

Key Properties

1. Tensile Strength

   • 304/304L: 515–620 MPa (74,694–89,923 psi) in annealed condition.
   • 316/316L: 550–800 MPa (79,770–116,030 psi), enhanced by molybdenum for pitting resistance.
   • Higher grades (e.g., 310S) withstand extreme temperatures up to 1,250°C.

2. Bend Strength

   • Austenitic grades (e.g., 304) exhibit excellent ductility, allowing severe deep drawing without cracking.
   • Ferritic grades (e.g., 430) are ideal for moderate bending but require annealing for complex shapes.

3. Corrosion Resistance

   • Chromium oxide layer (10.5%–30% Cr) prevents oxidation and self-heals in oxygen-rich environments.
   • 316L outperforms 304 in chloride-rich settings (e.g., marine or chemical industries).

Identification & Marking

Stainless steel grades follow international standards:

• ASTM/AISI: 304, 316L, etc.
• JIS: SUS304, SUS316.
• EN: 1.4301 (304), 1.4404 (316L).
• Laser etching or embossing ensures traceability and compliance with industry requirements.

Weight Calculation

Use the formula:
$\text{Weight (kg)}=\text{Thickness (mm)}\times \text{Width (m)}\times \text{Length (m)}\times \text{Density (7.93 g/cm³ for 304)}$
Example: A 2 mm thick 304 plate (1.5m × 3m) weighs $2\times 1.5\times 3\times 7.93=71.37\text{kg}$.

Why Stainless Steel Rusts?

Despite its name, stainless steel corrodes under specific conditions:

1. Surface Contamination: Dust, salts, or organic residues (e.g., food acids) disrupt the chromium oxide layer, enabling electrochemical reactions.
2. Mechanical Damage: Scratches or abrasions expose raw iron to oxygen, forming rust.
3. Chemical Exposure: Chlorides (seawater), sulfuric acid, or alkaline substances accelerate pitting and crevice corrosion.
4. High-Temperature Oxidation: Prolonged exposure above 870°C degrades protective films.

Applications

• Teppanyaki Stainless Steel Plate: Ideal for high-heat cooking surfaces due to thermal stability (up to 800°C) and hygienic 2B/HL finishes.
• Ion Plated Stainless Steel: Enhanced durability via vapor-deposited titanium or zirconium layers, reducing wear in decorative or industrial uses.
• Wholesale Stainless Steel Plates: Cost-effective bulk orders for construction, filtration, and automotive industries.
