How It Works
Stainless steel achieves its performance through chromium oxide passive film formation.
Working Principle
- Chromium in the alloy reacts with oxygen
- Forms a thin, invisible protective oxide layer
- This layer prevents further corrosion and oxidation
- Even if scratched, it self-repairs in oxygen environments
This is why stainless steel maintains durability even in harsh conditions.
Selection Guide
Selecting the correct stainless steel grade depends on application:
- 304 / 304L → General purpose, construction, kitchen equipment
- 316 / 316L → Marine, chemical, corrosion-heavy environments
- 310S / 309S → High temperature applications
- 430 → Decorative, low corrosion environments
- 2205 / 2507 → High strength, offshore, oil & gas
- 904L → Strong acid chemical environments
Selection Tips
- Choose 316L if corrosion resistance is critical
- Choose 310S for heat resistance above 1000°C
- Choose duplex steel for high strength + corrosion resistance
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel?
304 is general-purpose corrosion resistant steel, while 316 contains molybdenum for better resistance in marine and chemical environments.
Can stainless steel plates be customized in size?
Yes, we provide custom cutting, bending, punching, and welding services according to requirements.
What surface finishes are available?
We offer BA, 2B, NO.4, HL (Hairline), and 8K mirror finishes depending on application needs.
Is 316L better than 304L?
Yes, 316L has better corrosion resistance due to Mo content, especially in seawater and chemical environments.
What is the delivery time?
Standard delivery time is 7-15 working days, depending on quantity and specifications.
