SS 304Cold Rolled BA Finish Stainless Steel Sheet Thickness 0.3-3.0mm

304 316 Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate Introduction

Stainless steel sheet is highly versatile and used in a wide range of appli­cations. It is primarily selected for its resistance to corrosion, longevity and form ability. Stainless steel plate and sheet differ in durability and thickness. Stainless steel sheets are thinner, usually 6mm or less, and used for lightweight residential and household applications. Stainless steel plates provide more tensile strength and are used in heavy-duty applications.

Stainless Steel Sheet Parameter

Stainless Steel Sheet

• Usually less than 6mm thick
• Thinner than SS plate
• Lightweight residential and architectural applications

Stainless Steel Plate

• Usually thicker than 6mm
• High tensile strength
• Good durability
• Heavy-duty applications

304 Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate

304 Stainless Steel Sheet is the most popular and economical of the stainless steels. 304 Stainless Sheet offers good corrosion resistance to many chemical corrodents as well as industrial atmospheres and marine environments. 304 Stainless Sheet may become slightly magnetic when worked and is not heat treatable.

Grade 304 stainless steel has a high nickel and chromium content, which provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal option for a broad range of light-duty and general-purpose applications. Stainless steel 304 sheet and plate advantages include:

• Excellent formability
• Nonmagnetic
• Easy to fabricate

316 Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate

Like 304 SS, grade 316 stainless steel also has high nickel and chromium content, but the addition of molybdenum further improves the corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides or chlorinated substances. These properties make grade 316 stainless steel

sheet and plate ideal for medical applications, marine environments, refining or chemical processing, and other highly corrosive environments. Stainless steel 316 sheet and plate advantages include:

• Advanced corrosion and pitting resistance
• Excellent weight-bearing properties
• Superior durability
• Nonmagnetic

Stainless Steel Sheets Applications

Stainless steel sheet metal and plate provide low maintenance, corrosion resistance solutions for various industrial applications. Some of the typical uses for stainless steel sheets and plates include:

• Food Processing & Handling
• Storage Tanks
• Heat Exchangers
• Electrical Enclosures
• Chemical Process Vessels
• Conveyors
• Architectural & Construction
• Marine Parts & Equipment
