The primary difference between plates and sheets is their thickness, with plates generally being thicker by about 3 mm. Sheets and plates are widely used in various industries, particularly in mechanical equipment manufacturing, food processing, construction, and architectural works. Due to their affordability and accessibility, they are also extensively used in making cooking items like BBQ grills.
Moreover, they are utilized in construction and expansion projects due to their excellent heat and corrosion resistance. They can withstand temperatures up to 1150 degrees Celsius, making them suitable for electrical equipment operations and demonstrating excellent electrical conductivity.
Grades 309, 310, and 310S are composed of the same chemical elements, including carbon, nickel, chromium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, and manganese. Like other 300 series grades, they contain high levels of chromium and nickel, providing excellent temperature and stress resistance properties. SS 309/310/310S sheets and plates are available with superb finishes and various hardness levels, such as soft, hard, half-hard, quarter-hard, and spring hard.
These grades are suitable for both hot and cold rolling processes. They are highly versatile and stress-resistant stainless steel. Their finishes, chemical, and physical properties are regulated under ASTM A240 and ASME SA 240 standards for high-stress and high-pressure applications. Additionally, SS 309/310/310S sheets and plates undergo several critical tests such as PMI testing, leakage testing, mechanical testing, hardness testing, and more.
