FAQs:
What is the difference between 304 and 316 grade ASTM A240 plates?
The key difference is composition; Grade 316 contains molybdenum, providing significantly better corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and acids, making it suitable for marine and chemical environments.
Can ASTM A240 stainless steel plates be welded?
Yes, most grades under this specification, especially the 'L' low-carbon variants like 304L and 316L, are designed for excellent weldability to prevent carbide precipitation.
What finishes are available for ASTM A240 stainless steel plates?
The product is available in various finishes, including standard 2B (bright cold-rolled), No.4 (brushed), BA (bright annealed), and No.1 (hot-rolled annealed), to suit different aesthetic and functional needs.
What are the primary applications of ASTM A240 stainless steel plates?
They are widely used in pressure vessels, architectural facades, food and beverage processing, chemical and petrochemical industries, marine and offshore components, and pharmaceutical equipment due to their durability and corrosion resistance.
