1. Core Performance Advantages

  • Excellent Corrosion ResistanceA dense passive film forms on the surface, protecting against air, moisture, weak acid and alkali. It is rust-proof, fade-resistant and has a long service life.
  • Stable Mechanical PropertiesBalanced tensile strength, toughness and formability, suitable for stamping, bending, welding, cutting and other deep processing to meet complex structural and design requirements.
  • Hygienic, Eco-Friendly & Low MaintenanceSmooth and dense surface, non-absorbent to oil and bacteria, complying with food and medical grade standards. Easy to clean and 100% recyclable.
  • Rich Surface FinishesAvailable in 2B, brushed, mirror, sandblasted, etched, embossed, color titanium-coated finishes, matching modern, light luxury, industrial styles.

2. Main Grades & Applications

  • 304 Stainless Steel SheetGeneral-purpose grade with balanced corrosion resistance, workability and cost performance.Widely used in kitchenware, home appliances, elevators, interior decoration, municipal facilities, food equipment.
  • 316L Stainless Steel SheetContains molybdenum for stronger chloride corrosion resistance.Ideal for coastal construction, chemical equipment, marine parts, medical devices, seawater environments.
  • 201/202 Stainless Steel SheetEconomical grade for indoor dry decoration, general hardware, furniture panels and low-corrosion environments.
  • 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel SheetHigh strength and stress corrosion resistance, used for pressure vessels, pipelines, chemical tanks, offshore platforms.

3. Specifications & Processing

  • Process: Cold-rolled (0.2–6mm, fine surface, high precision); Hot-rolled (3–60mm, high strength for industrial load-bearing)
  • Standard sizes: 1000×2000mm, 1220×2440mm, 1500×3000mm
  • Custom services: cut-to-size, bending, punching, welding
  • Standards: GB/T 3280, GB/T 4237, ASTM A240, with quality inspection reports

4. Application Fields

  • Construction & Decoration: Curtain walls, ceilings, door frames, elevator cabins, metal finishes, landscape art
  • Industrial Manufacturing: Chemical equipment, environmental protection equipment, machinery casings, pipes and tanks, hardware structural parts
  • Food & Medical: Kitchen equipment, tableware, worktables, medical instruments, clean room panels
  • Home & Appliances: Refrigerators, washing machines, range hood panels, cabinets, bathroom hardware, custom metal furniture

5. Purchasing Guidelines

  1. Choose grade by environment: 304/201 for indoor dry areas; 316L/duplex for coastal/chemical environments
  2. Confirm thickness by usage: 0.3–3mm for decoration; above 3mm for structural load-bearing
  3. Verify surface finish, tolerance and processing requirements, select qualified manufacturers with inspection certificates
