Stainless Steel Plate

Stainless steel plates are fundamental materials for projects requiring precision fabrication, structural consistency, and reliable material performance under specialized conditions. From sanitary processing and chemical exposure to demanding thermal environments, choosing the appropriate grade supports operational efficiency, material compatibility, and long-term application success.

Metal Exponents provides stainless steel plate solutions tailored to specific industrial requirements. Each option is selected to meet the performance demands of modern construction, manufacturing, and industrial processing.

SUS 304-2B

Made from austenitic chromium-nickel steel with low carbon content, SUS 304-2B resists intergranular corrosion after welding and remains non-magnetic in its annealed state, making it ideal for fabrication work.

The 2B finish features a smooth, cold-rolled, bright-annealed surface with a slightly reflective appearance, offering a clean look and easy maintenance, making it the most commonly used stainless steel plate finish worldwide.

SUS316-L

SUS316L is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel plate designed for superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich and chemically aggressive environments. With added molybdenum and reduced carbon content, it minimizes intergranular corrosion after welding, making it ideal for critical industrial applications.

Compared to SUS316, SUS316L offers enhanced weldability and improved resistance to grain-boundary corrosion, particularly under continuous exposure conditions.
