Stainless Steel Plate

Description

Stainless steel sheets have high strength and hardness, as well as good plasticity and toughness. They are divided into two types: hot-rolled and cold-rolled, and classified into 5 categories based on the organizational characteristics of the steel. The stainless steel sheet industry is categorized into the 200 series, 300 series, and 400 series stainless steel products.

Application

Stainless steel sheet is a corrosion-resistant steel widely used in construction, chemical, pharmaceutical, and culinary fields:

1. Construction：stainless steel sheets find extensive use in exterior walls, interior walls, floors, and other decorative and structural components.
2. Chemical Industry：stainless steel sheets are widely used for producing chemical reactors, storage tanks, pipelines, and equipment in areas such as offshore oil fields and wastewater treatment.
3. Pharmaceutical Industry：stainless steel sheets are extensively employed in manufacturing equipment, including devices for pharmaceutical formulations and packaging containers for pharmaceutical formulations.
4. Culinary Industry：stainless steel sheets are primarily used to manufacture dining tables, kitchen utensils, food carts, and other equipment.
