Stainless Steel Sheet 304 Grade 3mm Thickness Corrosion Resistant for Industrial Applications

Product Description:

The Stainless Steel Sheet 304 Grade 3mm Thickness is a highly versatile, durable, and corrosion-resistant material used extensively in various industries. Known for its strength, resistance to rust, and excellent formability, this stainless steel sheet offers a wide range of applications, making it a preferred choice for industrial, commercial, and even household projects. This sheet is especially popular in industries requiring high-performance materials that can withstand harsh environments.

Key Properties:

1. Corrosion Resistance:

304 Stainless Steel is renowned for its high corrosion resistance. Its ability to withstand exposure to chemicals, acids, moisture, and high temperatures makes it suitable for demanding environments such as chemical processing plants, food and beverage industries, and marine applications.

• Corrosion Resistance in Different Environments: 304 stainless steel offers great resistance to both atmospheric and chemical corrosion. In more aggressive environments, such as industrial pollution or marine environments, it resists pitting, stress corrosion cracking, and intergranular corrosion.

2. Strength and Durability:

With a thickness of 3mm, the sheet offers significant strength and structural integrity. It can withstand substantial weight and pressure, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. The high tensile and yield strength ensure that the material remains stable under stress, providing long-term durability.

• Tensile Strength: 505 MPa (73,200 psi)

• Yield Strength: 215 MPa (31,200 psi)

3. Formability and Machinability:

304 stainless steel is known for its ease of fabrication. It can be easily shaped, bent, and cut into various forms without cracking or compromising its structural integrity. The 3mm thickness provides an excellent balance between formability and strength, making it suitable for intricate designs and custom applications.

• Bending: The sheet can be bent using standard press brake techniques without cracking or deformation.

• Cutting: It can be cut using laser, plasma, or waterjet cutting methods, producing clean edges with high precision.

4. Weldability:

One of the standout features of 304 stainless steel is its excellent weldability. The material can be welded using various welding techniques such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), MIG (Metal Inert Gas), and resistance welding. Its low carbon content minimizes the risk of sensitization during welding, ensuring the welded joints remain corrosion-resistant.

• Welding Method Compatibility: 304 stainless steel is compatible with most welding methods, including arc, resistance, and laser welding.

5. Temperature Resistance:

304 stainless steel performs well in both high and low-temperature environments. It can withstand temperatures up to 870°C (1,598°F) in continuous service and 925°C (1,697°F) in intermittent service. This high-temperature resistance makes it ideal for use in applications involving heat, such as furnace parts, heat exchangers, and kitchen equipment.

• Melting Point: 1400°C to 1450°C (2552°F to 2642°F)

Technical Parameters:

6. Surface Finishes Available:

The sheet is available in various surface finishes, which enhance its appearance and functionality:

• 2B: Smooth, matte finish, commonly used for industrial applications.

• BA (Bright Annealed): Bright, reflective finish, suitable for decorative and high-end applications.

• No. 1: Rough, hot-rolled finish for heavy-duty applications.

• No. 4: Brushed, satin finish, ideal for commercial and household uses such as kitchen appliances and elevator panels.

• Mirror Finish: Highly reflective surface, used in decorative and architectural applications.

• Hairline Finish: Provides a linear, brushed appearance, typically used for decorative or aesthetic purposes.

7. Non-Magnetic Properties:

In its annealed condition, 304 stainless steel is non-magnetic. This is a crucial property for applications that require non-magnetic materials, such as electronic components or certain industrial machinery.

8. Sustainability:

304 stainless steel is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly material. It can be recycled and reused without losing any of its core properties, contributing to sustainable manufacturing practices and reducing environmental impact.
