Mechanical & Functional Properties
Tensile Strength
Our stainless steel plates boast tensile strengths ranging from 515 MPa (304) to 650 MPa (430), ensuring structural integrity under extreme loads. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty applications like stainless steel door kick plates and stainless steel wall plates, where resistance to deformation is critical. The yield strength of ≥205 MPa (304) guarantees stability in dynamic environments.
Bending Strength
With elongation rates up to 40% (304), our plates retain their integrity even after rigorous bending or forming. This ductility is essential for creating complex shapes, such as curved stainless steel licence plate screws or decorative architectural panels, without compromising strength.
Material Identification & Standards
Key Designations
- ASTM A240: Specifies requirements for chromium-nickel (304/316) and chromium (430) grades.
- EN 1.4301/1.4404: European standards equivalent to 304 and 316, ensuring global compatibility.
- JIS SUS304/SUS430: Japanese standards for automotive and construction applications.
Why Compliance Matters
Strict adherence to standards guarantees optimal chromium (18–20% in 304) and nickel (8–10% in 304) content, enhancing corrosion resistance and weldability. For example, stainless steel door kick plates require precise alloy ratios to withstand weathering and physical impact.
Weight Calculation
Calculate plate weight using the formula:

Why Stainless Steel Corrodes?
Despite its resilience, stainless steel can rust under specific conditions:
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal environments or de-icing salts accelerate pitting corrosion, especially in grades like 430 with lower nickel content.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or contamination (e.g., iron particles) disrupt the chromium oxide layer, exposing the base metal to oxidation.
- Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with dissimilar metals (e.g., carbon steel) triggers electrochemical degradation.
- Improper Welding: Poor welding techniques reduce chromium’s protective effect, leading to intergranular corrosion.
