The stainless steel plate has a smooth surface, high plasticity, toughness, and mechanical strength, and is resistant to corrosion of acid, alkaline gas, solution, and other media. It is a kind of alloy steel that is not easy to rust, but not absolutely rust free. Stainless steel plate refers to the corrosion-resistant steel plate in a weak media such as atmosphere, steam, and water, while acid-resistant steel plate refers to the corrosion-resistant steel plate in a chemical corrosive medium such as acid, alkali, and salt. The stainless steel plate has a history of more than a century since it came out in the early 20th century.
Corrosion resistance
The stainless steel plate has the ability to resist general corrosion similar to the unstable nickel-chromium alloy 304. Long time heating in the temperature range of chromium carbide degree may affect the corrosion resistance of alloys 321 and 347 in the severe corrosive medium. It is mainly used in high-temperature applications. High-temperature applications require strong sensitization resistance to prevent intergranular corrosion at lower temperatures.
High-temperature oxidation resistance
All stainless steel plates have high-temperature oxidation resistance, but the oxidation rate is affected by inherent factors such as exposure environment and product morphology.
