The name "stainless steel sheet" combines a whole class of rolled metal products, including many modifications. Stainless steel sheet is the main product of flat rolled metal made of stainless steel, different in geometry and thickness, according to the method of rolling (production), surface treatment methods and a number of other characteristics. According to the production method, stainless steel sheet is divided into hot-rolled and cold-rolled.
Depending on the type of surface treatment, stainless steel sheet has three main modifications: Matt; Polished; Mirror;
Thickness (mm): 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35, 36, 40, 45, 48, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100 and so on. Width (mm): 1000, 1250, 1500, 2000 mm. Length (mm): 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 8000 mm.
The main advantage of stainless steel sheet is its corrosion resistance and high strength. There are also heat-resistant and resistant in an aggressive environment types of rolled products. Accordingly, these products have a long service life in almost all conditions. Stainless steel sheet looks aesthetically pleasing, it is convenient to weld, process and shape. Stainless steel sheets are used in almost all industries: construction, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, medicine, chemical and food industries. Thus, thick – sheet rolled products are used for the production of boilers and combustion chambers, corrugated-for the manufacture of metal structures, and from sheets of the ferritic category produce pots and other kitchen utensils. Decorative stainless steel sheets, which have a variety of surface textures, are actively used in the decoration of facades and the implementation of original architectural solutions.
