ASTM A276 Polishing 201/304/310/316/321/904L Stainless Steel Bar for Machinery

Stainless steel is an alloy steel whose main component is iron, while containing at least 11% chromium, as well as other elements such as nickel, molybdenum, manganese and so on. The following are some properties of stainless steel:

Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance. The chromium element reacts with oxygen to form a dense oxide film (chromium oxide layer), which prevents further oxidation and corrosion on the surface of the steel, making the stainless steel resistant to the erosion of most chemical media. This makes stainless steel widely used in environments containing water, gases and chemicals.

High temperature performance: stainless steel maintains good performance at high temperatures and can maintain structural stability and strength for a long time. This makes stainless steel suitable for high-temperature processes and applications, such as petrochemical, energy production and other fields.

Mechanical properties: Stainless steel has excellent mechanical properties, including strength, hardness and ductility. This makes stainless steel widely used in manufacturing industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction and manufacturing.

Aesthetic: The surface of stainless steel is smooth and uniform, and it can show different appearance effects by polishing, brushing or painting. This makes stainless steel in architectural decoration, furniture manufacturing, art production and other fields have a wide range of applications.

Renewable: Stainless steel is a recyclable material, through recycling and reuse, can reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, in line with the principle of sustainable development.

In general, stainless steel has excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, good mechanical properties, aesthetics and renewability, making it widely used in various industrial and civil fields.

Chemical Composition:
Stainless steel plate is an austenitic stainless steel that has a composition of chromium, nickel, and manganese. Its chemical composition is as follows:

Thickness and Width:

The thickness and width of stainless steel plates can vary according to specific needs and applications. Generally speaking, the thickness of stainless steel plates can range from a very thin few millimeters to tens of millimeters, and the width is usually between tens of millimeters and several meters.

We can provide different specifications and sizes of stainless steel plates, and can choose the appropriate thickness and width according to the specific needs.

Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled
Stainless steel plate can be manufactured using either hot rolled or cold rolled techniques. Hot rolling involves heating the steel above its recrystallization temperature and then passing it through rollers to form the desired shape. Cold rolling, on the other hand, involves passing the steel through rollers at room temperature to reduce its thickness.

Different Finishes
Stainless steel plate comes in different finishes that can affect its appearance and properties. Here are some common finishes:
