Stainless Steel Plates

STAINLESS STEEL PLATE is used in all aspects of architecture, building, industrial and construction.

Air pollution, salt exposure, weather patterns, design and cleaning frequency must be considered when selecting stainless steel and other construction materials if good long term performance is desired.

Stainless steel plate, coil and strip is used in abundance when constructing a high-rise building, and is used to create lintels, welded to form shelf angles, windposts, masonry supports, wall starters and much more.

Three of the most common grades of stainless steel are 304, 316 and 410. 304 and 304L are the most commonly used grade for sheet and plate as it is less expensive, highly versatile and offers corrosion resistance while also maintaining its durability. For coastal and marine environments, grade 316 is often favoured due to its superior corrosion resistance.

Some materials are ASTM A310s, 210, Duplex & Super Duplex.

Stainless steel is thus ideal for food production and storage as it does not affect the flavour of the food and the corrosion resistance is an important factor when it comes into contact with acidic foods. Stainless steel is easily cleaned which keeps germs at bay, in turn maintaining the integrity of any sterile environment, including that of the medical industry, surgical instruments, major appliances, industrial equipment and as an automotive and aerospace structural alloy.

Stainless steel sheets, aiso commonly known as Cold Rolled Products, can be moulded into shapes for making cookware, such as grills, sinks, pots and cookers. Stainless steel sheet is popular as a finish for refrigerators, freezers, countertops and dishwashers.
