Product Details
Stainless steel metal plates are widely used flat steel products in construction, manufacturing, and industrial engineering. They are available in different thicknesses, widths, and lengths, and can be processed through multiple fabrication methods depending on application requirements.
Understanding standard plate specifications and processing techniques helps ensure correct material selection and efficient production.
Common Stainless Steel Plate Specifications
Stainless steel plates are typically classified by thickness and standard sheet size ranges.
1. Thickness Range
| Category | Thickness Range | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Thin sheet | 0.3 – 3 mm | Decoration, light fabrication |
| Medium plate | 3 – 6 mm | General industrial use |
| Thick plate | 6 – 20 mm | Structural and mechanical parts |
| Heavy plate | 20 mm and above | Heavy engineering, shipbuilding |
2. Standard Plate Sizes
Common industrial supply sizes include:
| Width (mm) | Length (mm) | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 mm | 2000 mm | Small fabrication parts |
| 1219 mm | 2438 mm (4×8 ft) | Standard industrial sheet size |
| 1500 mm | 3000 mm | Medium and heavy fabrication |
| 2000 mm | 6000 mm | Large structural applications |
Key Insight
Standard sizes can be custom cut according to engineering drawings or project requirements.
Common Stainless Steel Grades Used in Plates
- 201 – cost-effective decorative use
