SUS 304 316L BA surface Stainless Steel Sheet Price ASTM A240 SS 0.5mm Sheet 304 201 430 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Plate
The stainless steel plate has a smooth surface, high plasticity, toughness and mechanical strength, and is resistant to corrosion by acids, alkaline gases, solutions and other media. It is an alloy steel that does not rust easily, but not absolutely rust-free.
Stainless steel plate refers to a steel plate that is resistant to corrosion by weak media such as atmosphere, steam and water,while acid-resistant steel plate refers to a steel plate that is resistant to corrosion by chemically corrosive media such asacid, alkali, and salt.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF 316 AND 316L STAINLESS STEEL PLATE
316 and 316L stainless steel plate has a relatively similar chemical composition, however, chemically there is one very important difference. This difference lies in the amount of carbon within each type of stainless steel plate. 316 stainless steel plate is comprised of at most 0.08% carbon while 316L stainless steel plate only contains up to 0.03% carbon. 316 and 316L stainless steel plate both are composed of no more than 2.0% manganese, 0.75% silicon and 0.045% phosphorous. Both 316 and 316L contain at most 0.03% sulfur, between 16.00% and 18.00% chromium, and between 2.0% and 3.0% molybdenum. 316 and 316L stainless steel plate also contains between 10.0% and 14.0% nickel and no more than 0.10% nitrogen.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF 316 AND 316L STAINLESS STEEL PLATE
These stainless steel plates have some very important mechanical properties. Grade 316 stainless steel plate has a minimum tensile strength of 75 ksi and a yield strength at 0.2% of 30 ksi. 316 stainless steel plate has a 40% elongation. On the Brinell hardness scale 316 stainless steel plate has a hardness of 217 and a Rockwell B hardness of 95.
