Stainless Steel Plates

Information

Stainless steel plate is versatile and used in a variety of applications. It is primarily selected for its resistance to corrosion, longevity and form ability. Stainless steel plate and sheet differ in thickness and durability. Stainless steel plates provide more tensile strength and are used in heavy-duty applications. Stainless steel sheets are thinner, usually 6mm or less, and used for lightweight residential applications.

Applications

Uses of stainless steel plate include structural and construction applications, pressure vessels, marine and offshore equipment, general fabrication, transmission line towers and military applications.

Grades

Two of the most common grades of stainless steel are 304 and 316. 304 and 304L are the most regularly used grades for stainless steel plates as they are less expensive, highly versatile, easily roll-formed or shaped and offer excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, while also maintaining their durability. For coastal and marine environments, grades 316 and 316L are often favoured due to their superior corrosion resistance and are particularly effective in acidic environments.

Common Grades, Sizes and Specifications

Grades	Width	Length	Thickness
304/304L	Up to 2000mm	Up to 6000mm	From 0.4mm
316/316L	Up to 2000mm	Up to 6000mm	From 0.4mm

Other stainless steel plate grades and sizes are available upon request. You can request to cut your stainless steel plates down to size.

Finishes
