The primary difference between plates and sheets is their thickness, with plates being generally 3 mm thicker than sheet metal.
Sheets and plates are widely used in various industries. Specifically, SS 309/310/310S sheets and plates are extensively used in mechanical equipment production, food processing, construction, and architectural projects. Their affordability and availability make them popular for manufacturing cooking appliances like BBQ grills.
Additionally, due to their excellent thermal and corrosion-resistant properties, they are used in design and expansion operations. They can withstand temperatures up to 1150 degrees Celsius, making them suitable for electrical equipment operations and providing excellent electrical conductivity.
Grades 309, 310, and 310S are made from a similar chemical composition, including elements like carbon, nickel, chromium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, and manganese. Like other 300 series stainless steels, these grades have the highest concentration of chromium and nickel, giving them exceptional temperature and pressure resistance. SS 309/310/310S sheets and plates are available in various finishes and hardness levels, including soft, hard, half-hard, quarter-hard, and spring-hard.
These grades are suitable for both hot and cold rolling processes. They are highly adaptable and stress-resistant stainless steels. Their finishes, chemical, and physical properties comply with ASTM A240 and ASME SA 240 standards, ensuring high stress and pressure absorbance qualities.
SS 309/310/310S sheets and plates also undergo essential tests like PMI testing, leakage testing, mechanical testing, hardness testing, and more.
