Grade 304 and 316 are the commonly used types of steel sheets. These are versatile, strong and tough and can be used in sea waiter due to its resistance to corrosion even when exposed to chlorides and seawater. Grade 316 is also used in the handling of food and pharmaceutical products and is a standard option. Steel Sheets are available in 0.4mm and 2.5mm thickness and these can be cut to suit the specific needs of the user with a high degree of accuracy. Stainless steel is resistant to staining and corrosion and is a low cost lustrous metal that is a popular choice in many commercial applications. There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, of which fifteen are most commonly used for making cookware, cutlery, automotive and aerospace components and surgical instruments among others. Applications of Sheets and Plates Sheets and plates are also used in various industries like automotive, construction, home appliances and food processing equipments. Steel sheets have a thickness of 3 mm or less while sheets with thickness more than 3mm is a plate. These are available in different technical specifications and can be customised to suit the specific needs of the customers. Carbon Steel Plates "" Versatile and Functional Alike Carbon Steel Plates are used in many applications like general engineering and mechanical purposes. These can withstand tremendous amount of weights and pressure and are available in varying thicknesses and shapes. From coils to strips, circles and rings, carbon steel plates can also be made to suit the specific requirements of the customer. In Carbon steel, the main alloy will be carbon and this term is also used to refer steel which is not stainless steel, which differs from carbon steel in the amount of chromium present. Carbon steel is not rust proof and can corrode when exposed to air and moisture; whereas stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a protective coating of chromium oxide, which prevents surface corrosion. More the carbon content, stronger will be the steel. However this form of steel are less ductile and are prone to breakage and hence is not suited for welding. In countries like the US, Eighty-five percent of all steel used is carbon steel.
