Advantages of stainless steel plate

Introduction of stainless steel plate

Stainless steel is closely related to our lives, and we can see it everywhere in our daily life. For example, the most common stainless steel pots, bowls, ladles, and pots. This depends entirely on its smooth surface, high plasticity, toughness and mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance to acids, alkaline gases, solutions and other media. The advantages of stainless steel plates are mainly divided into: physical properties, chemical properties, process properties, and mechanical properties. Let’s take a look at these four advantages:

1. Physical properties

Heat resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance and even ultra-low temperature resistance.

2. Chemical properties

The resistance to chemical corrosion and electrochemical corrosion is the best among steels, second only to titanium alloys.

3. Process performance

Austenitic stainless steel has the best process performance. Due to its good plasticity, it can be processed into various plates, tubes and other profiles, which are suitable for pressure processing. Martensitic stainless steel has poor process performance due to its high hardness.

4. Mechanical properties

Depending on the type of stainless steel, the mechanical properties are different. Martensitic stainless steel has high strength and hardness, and is suitable for manufacturing parts that are not only corrosion resistant but also require high strength and high wear resistance, such as turbine shafts, stainless steel knives, stainless steel bearings. Etc., austenitic stainless steel has good plasticity and low strength, but the corrosion resistance is the best among stainless steels. It is suitable for occasions where very corrosion resistance is required but mechanical properties are not high, such as chemical plants, fertilizer plants, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid. The manufacturer's equipment materials, etc., of course, can also be used in military industries such as submarines. Ferritic stainless steel has moderate mechanical properties and low strength, but is resistant to oxidation and is suitable for various industrial furnace parts.
