NO.1 AISI 321 304 304L 316 316L 6mm Stainless Plate

6mm Thick NO.1 AISI 321 304 304l 316 316l Stainless Steel Sheet

Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate Introduction

Fulilai stocks many varieties of stainless steel sheet including 304 stainless steel, the most popular of the stainless steels. This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications. Another popular grade is 316 stainless steel, which is used in applications where additional corrosion resistance is required. In addition, 430 stainless is ferritic, straight chromium, non-hardenable grade commonly used in automotive trim and appliance components. Additional available stainless sheet metal grades include 201, 304L and 316L.

Grade 304 stainless steel has a high nickel and chromium content, which provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal option for a broad range of light-duty and general-purpose applications. Stainless steel 304 sheet and plate advantages include:

• Excellent formability
• Nonmagnetic
• Easy to fabricate

316 Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate

Like 304 SS, grade 316 stainless steel also has high nickel and chromium content, but the addition of molybdenum further improves the corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides or chlorinated substances. These properties make grade 316 stainless steel

sheet and plate ideal for medical applications, marine environments, refining or chemical processing, and other highly corrosive environments. Stainless steel 316 sheet and plate advantages include:

• Advanced corrosion and pitting resistance
• Excellent weight-bearing properties
• Superior durability
• Nonmagnetic

Stainless Steel Sheets Applications

Stainless steel sheet metal and plate provide low maintenance, corrosion resistance solutions for various industrial applications. Some of the typical uses for stainless steel sheets and plates include:

• Food Processing & Handling
• Storage Tanks
• Heat Exchangers
• Electrical Enclosures
• Chemical Process Vessels
• Conveyors
• Architectural & Construction
• Marine Parts & Equipment
