304 stainless steel plate vs sheet

The terms sheets and plates are used interchangeably in many instances in the industry. However, a 304 stainless steel plate is different from a sheet based on a range of factors listed below.

The ss 304 plate is designed with a thickness between 6mm and can extend to 150mm or more as per different requirements. The 304 stainless plate is utilized in applications that require higher strength and performance that is not possible with sheet metal. The 1.4301 plate is seen in structural applications, machinery, bridges, reinforcing columns, and various construction equipment. The price of an 18 gauge 304 stainless steel plate starts at $2.8 based on its thickness.

What the the maximum temperature that ss 304 sheet can withstand?

The stainless steel 304 sheet has good high temperature resistance- it can withstand temperatures up to about 800 degrees C without experiencing significant scaling or oxidation.

In which condition is stainless steel 304 sheet rust ?

It’s crucial to keep in mind that 304 stainless steel can corrode but won’t rust under typical atmospheric circumstances. Only harsher settings or circumstances where the steel’s composition contains impurities cause stainless steel to corrode.If exposed to seawater or other corrosive conditions repeatedly over time, stainless steel can in fact rust and corrode.

What is the lead time for orders of AISI 304 stainless steel sheets to import in UAE?

The lead time for orders of AISI 304 stainless steel sheets to import in UAE depends on the supplier- the timeline can depend on whether you need a standard or shear cut to size order. To get the exact time frame contact the supplier directly- there you can inquire about their lead time for importing ASTM A240 type 304 material products to UAE.

Expert’s advise to reduce cost

1. Buy in large quantities or bulk- this will help you to get a discount.
2. Choose standard or shear cut to size orders instead of laser orders- this will help to reduce lead time and cost.
3. Opt for the No.3 finish instead of the No.4 finish to save cost- even though it also depends on the size of the SUS 304 clad plate.
4. See if the suppliers have any promotions and offers to get discounts or free shipping on stainless steel 304 hairline finish sheet.

Which welding and cutting technique are best for 304 stainless steel sheet and why?

The best welding technique for brushed 304 stainless steel sheet is TIG welding or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding- it offers high quality, versatility and longevity. It produces a clean and precise weld with minimal distortion- it can be used on thin sheets. TIG welding also allows for better control of the heat input- this is important for preventing warping and cracking. Plasma cutting is a common technique used for cutting ss sheets.

What are the yield strength, maximum allowable stress, hardness , and thermal expansion coefficient

1. Yield strength of ss 304 mirror finish plate is 205 MPa.
2. Maximum allowable stress is 140 MPa at room temperature- It keeps decreasing with increasing temperature
3. Hardness is 88 HRB (Rockwell B hardness)
4. Thermal expansion coefficient is 17.2 µm/m°C from 0-100°C.

Is it possible that ASTM A240 Type304 sheet be coated with other materials? If so, which methods are advised by the experts?

Yes, it is possible to coat UNS S30400 Cold rolled Plate with other materials- it helps to enhance its properties or add functionality to the surface. The type of coating and the method of application will depend on the intended use and property improvement of the material. Some common coating methods are electroplating, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition and powder coating.
