Stainless steel Sheets
Stainless steel sheet are cut size sheets of stainless steel.Usually sheets are cut from coils . Sheets come in various variety . There are different constraints related to stainless steel .
Some constraints attached to stainless steel sheets:-
Grade
- Grades define the chemical composition of the product . There are different grades of stainless steel which effect the mechanical properties of stainless steel. Grades under stainless steel are divided into 3 main categories.Some commonly used grades & different series are :-
- 300 series – 304 , 310, 316L ,321
- 200 series – JT , J4 , SD, DD, 204CU , JSLAUS
- 400 series – 409,409M,409L,410,430,439,441
- Grades define the chemical composition of the product . There are different grades of stainless steel which effect the mechanical properties of stainless steel. Grades under stainless steel are divided into 3 main categories.Some commonly used grades & different series are :-
Thickness
- Sheets are manufactured in wide range. Thickness range starts from 0.50 mm and goes on after that . We keep in ready stock thickness up till 10 mm . There are also some thickness tolorence . Thicker material has high tolorence where as thin material has less tolorence.
Size
- Sheets are being manufactured in several sizes. The most commonly used sizes are :- 1000mm x 2500mm, 1250 mm x 2500mm, 1500mm x 3000mm . However apart from these sizes customized sizes are also available depending upon the ordered quantity and availability of the material.We can cut the different sizes from a coil to make customized sheets.
Finish
- There are different finishes of stainless steel. Finishes depends upon ones usage. Polished sheets and coils are used where there is direct usage i.e. just cut and use , whereas in case of bending , joining , drawing it is recommended to use unpolished material .
- Name of different finishes are
- 2B – basic unpolished
- HR- hot rolled , have a rough and unpolished finish
- Hairline/ matt/ no.4 – the surface is polished . It has matt finish usually comes with a PVC coating to protect the finish from scratches
- Mirror finish / no.8 – This surface is high gloss polished . It gives a reflection of mirror. It usually comes with a PVC coating of 0.70 micron or above.
- There are also some mechanical properties attached to stainless steel . We have put our best to help u understand about sheets. If you still have any questions in your mind , Please feel free to ask any time .We would love to answer all your questions.
