Stainless Steel Plate

Description

Stainless steel plate is a product that is processed into a flat plate by hot rolling or cold rolling. It has the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., and is widely used in construction, manufacturing, chemical industry and other fields.
Classification
By material:
Austenitic stainless steel plate: such as 304, 316, excellent corrosion resistance and processing performance, widely used.
Ferritic stainless steel plate: such as 430, low cost, weak corrosion resistance, mostly used for decoration and household appliances.
Martensitic stainless steel plate: such as 410, high hardness, good wear resistance, suitable for knives and mechanical parts.
Duplex stainless steel plate: such as 2205, has both high strength and high corrosion resistance, suitable for chemical industry and marine engineering.
By surface treatment:
2B surface: After cold rolling, heat treatment and pickling, the surface is smooth, suitable for general industrial use.
BA surface: bright annealing treatment, the surface is highly bright, mostly used for decoration and home appliances.
NO.1 surface: untreated after hot rolling, the surface is rough, suitable for occasions with low surface requirements.
NO.4 Surface: After polishing, the surface is delicate and suitable for building decoration and food equipment.
By thickness:
Thin plate: The thickness is less than 3mm, suitable for precision processing and light industry.
Medium plate: The thickness is 3-6mm, suitable for general industrial equipment and structural parts.
Thick plate: The thickness is greater than 6mm, suitable for heavy machinery and pressure vessels.
Process
Hot rolling: Rolling at high temperature, high production efficiency, but rough surface, often used for thick plates.
Cold rolling: Rolling at room temperature, smooth surface, precise size, suitable for thin plates.
Annealing: Slow cooling after heating, eliminating internal stress and improving material properties.
Pickling: Remove the surface oxide layer and improve corrosion resistance.
Polishing: Improve surface finish, suitable for decoration and high-end equipment.
Features
Corrosion resistance: Chromium elements form a dense oxide film to prevent further corrosion.
High strength: Suitable for applications with high strength and wear resistance requirements.
High temperature resistance: Some stainless steels can still maintain performance at high temperatures.
Easy processing: Good plasticity and toughness, suitable for a variety of processing methods.
Aesthetics: various surface treatments, suitable for decoration and construction.
Environmental protection: recyclable, in line with sustainable development requirements.
Uses
Architectural decoration: used for curtain walls, doors and windows, handrails, elevator decoration, etc.
Kitchen equipment: used for kitchen utensils, tableware, sinks, cabinets, etc.
Medical equipment: used for surgical instruments, medical equipment, disinfection cabinets, etc.
Automobile manufacturing: used for exhaust pipes, decorative strips, parts, etc.
Chemical equipment: used for storage tanks, pipelines, reactors, heat exchangers, etc.
Electronic appliances: used for electronic components, home appliance housings, battery housings, etc.
Energy field: used for nuclear power plants, wind power generation equipment, solar brackets, etc.
Food industry: used for food processing equipment, storage tanks, conveyor belts, etc.
Stainless steel plates have become an indispensable material in modern industry, construction and daily life with their excellent performance and wide application fields. Its corrosion resistance, high strength and easy processing make it occupy an important position in the field of high-end manufacturing and decoration.
