If you are looking for stainless steel sheet products, you have come to the right place. Because this guide explores everything you need to know about stainless steel sheets.
As the use of stainless steel sheets becomes more and more extensive, people are more and more favored by them, and stainless steel sheets can be used in many fields. However, due to the many grades of stainless steel and different materials, the performance and product life are very different.

The role of stainless steel sheet
Due to the metal properties of its alloys, stainless steel sheets have excellent performance and are excellent in corrosion resistance and weather resistance. Generally, it plays the role of protecting the target, and it is also used in the field of decoration, the food industry, electrical shells, medical equipment, etc. Stainless steel plate has excellent processing performance and good metal toughness, and can produce high-quality products through various processes.
How to distinguish the quality of stainless steel sheet
A good quality stainless steel plate has a very strong service life and physical properties. The parameters involved in the quality of the stainless steel plate are the material grade, processing procedure and plate thickness.
Stainless steel material grade selection
Under normal circumstances, the higher the grade of stainless steel, the better the performance. From low to high, it is 200 series, 300 series, 400 series, etc., and for the stainless steel sheet used for decoration, it is usually the stainless steel that uses the above series of materials. Such as 201 stainless steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel, 430 stainless steel, etc.(Learn about the stainless steel used in HOTIGOLD.)
Therefore, in the selection of stainless steel material, we must decide the material to be selected according to the actual use environment. If it is an ordinary outdoor use environment and the weather conditions are good, it is enough to choose a stainless steel plate of grade 201, because Its price is the lowest, and it can fully cope with the general use environment.
For coastal areas or places with serious industrial pollution, it is recommended to choose stainless steel plates of grade 304 or above, because the performance of grade 304 stainless steel is much better than that of 201, and it is particularly outstanding in weather resistance, corrosion resistance, wind and snow resistance, etc. The service life is also longer, and in terms of processing, 304 stainless steel is also very good, and can perform complex physical processing processes such as laser cutting, welding, and bending.
When it comes to food safety or medical supplies, it is necessary to choose stainless steel of grade 316 or above. After the relevant process treatment, it is easy to meet the requirements of food grade or medical equipment.
Stainless steel sheet processing process
In addition to selecting high-quality stainless steel, the processing process of stainless steel is also very important, which determines whether the stainless steel meets the relevant use standards. The processing technology of decorative stainless steel sheet in the industry generally includes coating, wire drawing, sand blasting, etching, embossing, etc. The most important of them is the coating process, or the anti-fingerprint process, which covers a layer of color film on the surface of the plate to protect the surface of the plate.
We can relatively choose coated stainless steel sheet products, or stainless steel sheet with anti-fingerprint properties, because after coating treatment, the performance of the sheet in terms of corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and scratch resistance has been significantly improved.
HOTIGOLD adopts the industry’s advanced PVD coating process, the color film coating is more uniform, and the durability is longer, which can better protect the stainless steel sheet. Premium performance.
Stainless steel sheet thickness selection
For the thickness selection of stainless steel sheet, it depends on the usage scenario, and the thickness selected for different usage scenarios is different.
For decorative use, we generally recommend that the thickness of the plate be between 0.5-1.5mm. If the thickness of the plate is less than 0.5mm, its physical properties will be relatively lacking, and the most obvious is that the anti-puncture and anti-rust properties will decline. Of course, the thickness of 0.5mm is the minimum selection standard, and we HOTIGOLD recommends customers to choose a plate with a thickness of more than 0.8mm.
After our long-term experimental data and market research, the thickness of the stainless steel plate used in decoration is about 0.8mm, which is more suitable, the price is not high, the performance is more in line with the actual use requirements, and the product cost performance is the best.
However, special attention should be paid here, too thick stainless steel decorative plates are not acceptable. It affects the convenience of processing, the weight is too heavy, the price is relatively expensive, and the later installation and use are also more troublesome. If the thickness performance is not particularly required, then we also recommend that the thickness be less than 1.2mm.
Choose stainless steel sheet mainly cold-rolled steel
Cold-rolled steel is a steel sheet obtained by further thinning the steel sheet to a target thickness below the recrystallization temperature under room temperature conditions. Compared with hot rolled steel, the thickness of cold rolled steel is more accurate, and the surface is smooth and beautiful.
As the type of stainless steel sheet, cold-rolled steel is the preferred choice, with high hardness, good workability and accurate dimensions.
However, it should be noted here that cold-rolled steel must be treated by an annealing process to restore its original properties, otherwise its mechanical and physical properties will deteriorate. Rolled stainless steel.
Conclusion
The above briefly introduces some methods on how to select high-quality stainless steel sheets, including the material grade of the sheet, processing procedures and thickness parameters. You have to make a reasonable choice based on the actual usage scenario. If you want to be simpler, you can choose products according to the brand awareness of the stainless steel sheet manufacturer.
