medical, food processing, chemical processing, high
vacuum, wastewater treatment, power generation, pharmaceutical,
chemical processing, paper and pulp, and heat treatment
industries, as well as many others.
These are some of the
reasons why stainless plate is valuable in so many industries:
- Resistance to corrosion, especially
oxidation and sulfidation
- Avoidance of product contamination
- Resistance to erosion and abrasion
- Retention of strength and ductility
at extreme temperatures
- Suitability for necessary fabrication
processes
- Ease in cleaning
- Formability
- Low weight yet high strength
- Clean and aesthetic in appearance
Sandmeyer Steel Company uses a wide variety
of stainless alloys to manufacture stainless plate products.
In fact we are proud to stock North America’s
most extensive single site inventory of stainless plate.
Read below to discover how some of our stainless plate
grades are serving specific applications:
304 Stainless
Plate
The properties of 304 stainless plate, as well as those
of 304L and 304H stainless plates, make these alloys
acceptable for use in the food industry. Because 304
stainless plate does not contaminate product it can
be used for food and beverage processing equipment as
well as brewing equipment.
316 Stainless
Plate
316 and 316L stainless plate’s high corrosion
resistance, even in the presence of salt water, makes
it ideal for many marine and environmental applications.
Alloys 316 and 316L additionally will retain a high
level of strength even in cryogenic temperatures and
is also easily fabricated; 316 stainless plate, therefore
is useful in cryogenic applications.
410 Stainless
Plate
Alloy 410 is used in many applications as well as many
industries. In the oil industry, 410 stainless plate
is used to make hardened steel balls, seats, nozzles,
and valve parts in oil well pumps, and, in the paper
and pulp industry, is used to make separating screens
and strainers. 410 stainless plate is also used in the
medical industry for the fabrication of surgical and
dental instruments.
Sandmeyer Steel Company offers many stainless
plate grades beyond those listed. Furthermore, the product
applications of our stainless plates are virtually unlimited.
