Stainless steel plate guide to use

Basic properties and application areas of stainless steel sheet

With its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, excellent processing performance and beautiful appearance, stainless steel plate has a wide range of applications in many fields. The following are the main application areas of stainless steel plate and its characteristics:

Construction field

Load-bearing structures: high-rise buildings, bridges, highways, etc.

Roofs, facades, staircases: to enhance the overall appearance of the building quality and service life.

Automotive field

Body panels, auto parts: good plasticity and toughness for complex forming operations.

Aerospace

Aircraft parts, aircraft engines: subject to extreme pressure and temperature, requiring extremely high mechanical properties and stability.

Electronic field

Electronic product shells, electronic components: good corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.

Medical field

Medical devices, surgical instruments: non-toxic, corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility.

Chemical field

Chemical reaction vessels, pipelines, valves: excellent corrosion resistance.

Petroleum field

Oil drilling equipment, pipelines, storage tanks: adapt to harsh environments.

Precautions when using stainless steel plate

Correct use and maintenance of stainless steel plate is the key to ensure its performance and life. The following are some important precautions for use:

Avoid contact with other metal materials

Electrochemical reactions may occur, leading to corrosion and damage.

Regular cleaning and maintenance

Use mild detergents and soft cloth for cleaning, avoid using detergents with acidic or alkaline ingredients.

Take care to avoid scratches

Avoid friction with sharp objects or hard objects that may scratch the surface of the stainless steel sheet.

Proper use of welding and cutting tools

Select appropriate welding materials and cutting tools and follow the correct operating methods.

Proper storage

Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity, acid and alkali environment, choose a dry and ventilated place for storage.
