Stainless Steel Plate/Sheet

2205 stainless steel, a duplex stainless steel, combines austenitic and ferritic qualities, offering superior strength and excellent corrosion resistance, especially against pitting and crevice corrosion. Comprising about 22% chromium, 5% nickel, and 3% molybdenum, it exhibits higher resistance to corrosion and cracking than traditional austenitic grades. Ideal for harsh chloride environments, such as in marine, oil and gas industries, and chemical processing, 2205 is also used in pollution control equipment and high-strength structural components. This grade’s blend of strength and resistance to corrosion makes it a preferred choice for challenging industrial applications requiring durability and longevity.

301 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel known for its high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. It is particularly notable for its ability to undergo substantial hardening through cold working. 301 stainless steel offers good weldability and formability, making it suitable for various applications. They are commonly used in transportation, architectural, and structural applications due to their durability and flexibility. This steel is also utilized in the manufacturing of automotive parts, industrial equipment, and in situations requiring a combination of strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. Its versatility makes it a popular choice in diverse industries.

316 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel enhanced with molybdenum, which increases its resistance to corrosion, especially against chlorides and other industrial solvents. This grade is known for its superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in marine environments and in applications involving exposure to corrosive elements. 316 stainless steel offers excellent weldability and formability, and is commonly used in food processing equipment, chemical containers, medical devices, and marine hardware. Its robustness against corrosion also makes it suitable for pharmaceutical and photographic industries. 316’s durability and resistance to corrosion make it a prime choice for demanding applications.

321 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel steel alloyed with titanium, which enhances its resistance to intergranular corrosion. It maintains stability in chromium carbide forming conditions, such as prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Resistant to scaling and oxidation in environments up to 900°C, 321 stainless steel is ideal for applications with intermittent heating within the carbide precipitation range. Commonly used in aerospace components, exhaust manifolds, heat exchangers, and expansion joints, this grade is also favored in the chemical processing industry. 321’s resistance to high-temperature corrosion and its overall durability make it well-suited for challenging industrial uses.
