Sandmeyer Steel
Company: Stainless Plate
Sandmeyer Steel Company uses stainless plate to manufacture
a variety of products. Stainless plate is made out of
stainless steel, an alloy metal which contains at least
10.5% chromium. Chromium allows stainless plate to resist
corrosion while other elements, such as nickel, add
different mechanical properties that allow stainless
plate to be available in over 150 grades. Sandmeyer
Steel Company offers the largest single site inventory
of stainless plates in North America which includes
austenitic,
duplex, martensitic,
and precipitation
hardened stainless plate. Customers can select a
grade of stainless plate to meet a specific performance
need such as heat resistance, aesthetic appearance,
intergranular corrosion resistance, toughness, magnetic
properties, electrical resistivity, and more.
Austenitic Stainless Plate
Sandmeyer Steel Company offers a full line of austenitic
stainless plate which contains nickel for enhanced corrosion
and heat resistance. Containing about 18% chromium and
8% nickel depending on grade, austenitic stainless plate
is non-magnetic and not hardenable by heat treatment.
Austenitic stainless steel also demonstrates a high
level of formability. Varying grades of austenitic stainless
steel comprise about 70% of all the stainless steels
in use today.
Duplex Stainless Plate
Super duplex, duplex, and lean duplex stainless plate
combine equal amounts of austenite and ferrite, and
therefore have higher chromium and lower nickel levels
than austenitic. Duplex stainless plate is characterized
by better resistance to pitting, chloride stress corrosion
cracking, and crevice corrosion. Sandmeyer Steel Company’s
extensive inventory of duplex and super duplex includes
2304, 2205, and 2507. The duplex grades can be welded
utilizing any of the common welding processes.
Martensitic Stainless Plate
With approximately 0.1% to 1.2% carbon and 12% to 18%
chromium, the martensitic stainless plate grades are
magnetic and less resistant to corrosion than austenitic
and duplex. However, martensitic stainless plate that
undergoes heat treatment achieves good ductility, high
strength, and excellent hardenability. If martensitic
is hardened and stress relieved, it achieves its highest
levels of corrosion resistance.
17-4PH Stainless Plate
17-4PH is a precipitation hardening stainless steel
that provides an outstanding combination of high strength,
good corrosion resistance, and good mechanical properties
when heat treated. The low temperature heat treatments
required to produce the high physical properties minimize
warping and scaling common during heat treating.
Stainless Plates by Industry and
Application
Its wide variety of performance and mechanical characteristics
make stainless plate an excellent choice for use in
many industries and applications. Sandmeyer Steel Company’s
products are used by industries such as wastewater and
hazardous waste management, food processing, pharmaceuticals,
chemical and petrochemicals, energy management, brewing
and beverage bottling, pulp and paper, and many others.
Furthermore, Sandmeyer Steel Company offers value added
processes which can manufacture nearly any shape. With
polishing, flattening, and milling, as well as abrasive
water jet cutting and “Machincut,” a Sandmeyer
Steel Company specialty, we provide the product you
need.
