What are the application fields of austenitic stainless steel sheets?

Austenitic stainless steel sheet refers to stainless steel with an austenitic structure at room temperature. The austenitic stainless steel sheet is non-magnetic and has high toughness and plasticity, but its strength is low. It is impossible to reinforce it by phase change. If elements such as S, Ca, Se, and Te are added, it has good properties. Next, I will introduce you to austenitic stainless steel sheets.

What are the characteristics of an austenitic stainless steel sheet?

In addition to the corrosion resistance of oxidizing acid media, austenitic stainless steel sheets can be resistant to corrosion by sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, urea, etc. If the carbon content in the austenitic stainless steel sheet is less than 0.03% or contains Ti and Ni, its resistance to intergranular corrosion can be significantly improved. The high-silicon austenitic stainless steel sheet has good corrosion resistance to concentrated nitric acid. As austenitic stainless steel sheet has comprehensive and good comprehensive properties, it has been widely used in various industries.

What is the production process of an austenitic stainless steel sheet?

The austenitic stainless steel has good production process performance, especially the chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel. The conventional methods of producing special steel can smoothly produce a variety of commonly used specifications of sheets, tubes, strips, wires, bars, forgings, and castings. Due to the high content of alloying elements (especially chromium) and the low carbon content, the arc furnace plus argon oxygen decarburization (AOD) or vacuum deoxidation decarburization (VOD) method is often used to mass-produce austenitic stainless steel sheets. Small batch products can be smelted in a vacuum or non-vacuum non-induction furnace, and electro slag remelting is added when necessary. Austenitic stainless steel can also produce castings. To improve the fluidity of molten steel and improve casting performance, the alloy composition of cast steel should be adjusted: It increases the silicon content, relaxes the range of chromium-nickel content, and raises the upper limit of the impurity element sulfur.

Which fields can austenitic stainless steel sheets be applied to?

Austenitic 304 stainless steel sheet, which is said to bring strong anti-rust and corrosion resistance, and has excellent plasticity and toughness, which is convenient for stamping and forming. Due to its high-temperature resistance and excellent processing properties, its metal products are widely used not only in the food and medical industries but also in the industrial and furniture decoration industries.

It is the responsibility of each manufacturer to produce an austenitic stainless steel sheet that meets the standards. If you are in the austenitic stainless steel sheet business, you can consider our cost-effective products.
