Different Types of Stainless Steel Plate

Stainless steel plates can be categorized according to various classification methods. Let’s have a full explanation of it now.

1. Thickness

According to metal thickness, it is generally divided into sheet, medium plate, heavy plate, and extra-thick plate in the market.

Sheet: 0.2mm-4mm

Medium Plate: 4mm-20mm

Heavy Plate: 20mm-60mm

Extra-thick Plate:＞60mm

2. Making Method

As for its fabrication, the stainless steel plate can be divided into hot rolled stainless steel plate and cold rolled stainless steel plate.

3. Usage

According to its specific usage, it is generally classified into different forms. They include:

Bridge stainless plate, boiler stainless plate, shipbuilding stainless plate, armor stainless plate, automobile stainless plate, roof stainless plate, structural steel plate, electrical steel plate (silicon steel sheet), spring stainless plate, solar energy special plat, etc.

4. Steel Structure

According to its crystalline structure, it can be separated into five main families, including austenitic stainless plate, austenitic-ferritic duplex stainless plate, ferritic stainless steel plate, martensitic stainless plate, and precipitation hardening stainless plate.

5. Shape

Stainless steel plates can be processed into different shapes to meet the requirements of different industries. In this regard, it can be divided into:

Stainless steel pattern plate,

Stainless steel wire drawing plate,

Stainless steel clad plate,

Stainless steel perforated plate,

Stainless steel corrugated sheet, etc.
