What Are Stainless Steel Sheets

The stainless steel sheet has a smooth surface, high plasticity, toughness, and mechanical strength, and is resistant to acid, alkaline gas, solution, and other media. It is an alloy steel that is not easy to rust, but it is not absolutely rust-free. Stainless steel sheet refers to steel sheet resistant to weak medium corrosion such as atmosphere, steam, and water, while acid-resistant steel sheet refers to steel sheet resistant to chemical etching medium corrosion such as acid, alkali, and salt.

Characteristics of Stainless Steel Sheets

Corrosion Resistance

The stainless steel sheet has the ability to resist general corrosion similar to unstable nickel-chromium alloy. Long-time heating in the temperature range of chromium carbide degree may affect the performance of the alloy in a harsh corrosive medium. It is mainly used for high-temperature applications. High-temperature applications require strong anti-sensitization of materials to prevent intergranular corrosion at low temperatures.

The corrosion resistance of stainless steel sheets mainly depends on their alloy composition and internal structure, and chromium plays a major role. With high chemical stability, chromium can form a passive film on the steel surface to isolate the metal from the outside world, protect the steel sheet from oxidation, and increase the corrosion resistance of the steel sheet. After the passivation film is destroyed, the corrosion resistance decreases.

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance

All stainless steel sheets have high-temperature oxidation resistance, but the oxidation rate will be affected by inherent factors such as exposure environment and product shape.

How to Select Stainless Steel Sheets

The selection of stainless steel sheet shall consider the operating conditions, such as manual operation or automatic operation, the performance and type of hot press, and the quality requirements for the pressed materials, such as hardness and luster.

In addition, when selecting the most reasonable thickness of steel sheet, its service time, quality and stiffness shall be considered, as well as the strength requirements of the plate under compression; pressure distribution, width, and specification of pressing plate.

If the thickness of the steel sheet is not enough, it is easy to bend, which will affect the production of the decorative sheets. If the thickness is too large and the steel sheet is too heavy, it will not only increase the cost of the steel sheet but also bring unnecessary difficulties to the operation. At the same time, the allowance for stainless steel sheet processing or use shall be considered.
