Stainless Steel Sheet/Plate

Stainless steel sheet/plate is versatile and used in a variety of applications. It is primarily selected for its resistance to corrosion, longevity and formability. Typical uses of stainless steel sheet/plate include, construction, food service applications, transportation, chemical, marine, and textile industries.

Our stainless steel sheet/plate is available in 300, 400 and 200 series. Each type has its own characteristics. The most popular grades are, 304 which can be easily roll-formed or shaped and due to its excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, it is one of the most popular grades 

available. 316 is an alloy that contains molybdenum which increases the corrosion resistance and is particularly effective in acidic environments as it provides a greater resistance to pitting corrosion. 

321 is a variation of 304 with the addition of titanium, it is resistant to intergranular corrosion and has excellent weldability. Type 430 is a ferritic stainless steel alloy which offers good corrosion resistance and is predominately used in the domestic and catering industries.

316 2B Finish

Better corrosion resistance as well as higher strength at elevated temperatures than 304. Used for pumps, valves, textile and chemical equipment, pulp & paper and marine applications. The 2B finish is a bright, cold rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern.

430 2B Finish

Combines good corrosion resistance and heat and oxidation resistance up to 1500°F with good mechanical properties. Unlike the other grades we carry, type 430 is magnetic. Applications include oil refinery equipment, roofing and siding, and restaurant equipment. The 2B finish is a bright, cold rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern.

309 2D finish

Provides excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance plus good strength at room and elevated temperatures. Typical uses include furnace parts, heating elements, aircraft and jet engine parts, heat exchangers, kiln liners, boiler baffles, refinery and chemical processing equipment, and auto exhaust parts. The 2D finish is a dull, cold rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern.

304 #4 Polish

This is the most common alloy used for sheet metal fabrication. It has good formability and weldability, and offers good corrosion resistance to both chemical and atmospheric conditions. The #4 Polish finish has a 150-180 grit grain in one direction.

304 #8 Mirror Finish

This is the most common alloy used for sheet metal fabrication. It has good formability and weldability, and offers good corrosion resistance to both chemical and atmospheric conditions. The #8 Mirror finish is a polished, highly reflective finish with the grain marks polished out.

304 2B Finish

This is the most common alloy of stainless steel used for sheet metal fabrication. It has good formability and weldability, and offers good corrosion resistance to both chemical and atmospheric conditions. The 2B finish is a bright, cold rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern.
