A stainless steel plate is a flat, solid sheet made from corrosion-resistant steel, designed for strength and durability. It combines hardness and resilience with a smooth, polished surface, ensuring long-term performance under stress and harsh circumstances. Stainless steel plates resist rust, wear, and chemical damage, maintaining their quality over time. They are made using a variety of manufacturing techniques, such as forging, hot rolling, and cold rolling, which contribute to their excellent mechanical qualities, consistent surface and accurate thickness. SS plates are ideal for structural, decorative, and industrial applications because they are simple to shape, cut and weld. With consistent dimensions and high-quality finishes these plates provide reliability and efficiency across a wide range of applications.

Stainless steel is durable, strong, and resistant to extreme environments. Its diverse qualities make it a dependable and long-lasting metal material.
Stainless steel plates come in a variety of grades, each designed to offer specific strength, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance. Picking the right grade ensures long-lasting performance in industrial, marine, or construction applications.
Grade 304 is the most popular type of stainless steel plate. It provides high corrosion resistance, formability and strength. It works well in kitchen equipment, storage tanks, and general construction.
304L is a low-carbon variant of 304. It resists corrosion after welding and maintains a smooth, polished finish. Ideal for chemical tanks, piping, and welded structures.
309 plates perform well at high temperatures. They resist oxidation and scaling, making them suitable for furnace parts, boiler components, and heat-resistant equipment.
310 grade is designed for high heat situations. It retains structural integrity at high temperatures and is commonly used in kilns, ovens, and heat exchangers.
316 plates are extremely resistant to corrosion from saltwater and chemicals. They are ideal for marine environments, chemical processing units, and medical equipment.
316L is a low-carbon version of 316. It prevents carbide precipitation during welding, keeping corrosion resistance intact. Commonly used in tanks, pipelines, and marine equipment.
310 grade is designed for high heat situations. It retains structural integrity at high temperatures and is commonly used in kilns, ovens and heat exchangers.
Despite having less carbon, 317L offers the same corrosion resistance as 317. It is perfect for pipes, pressure vessels, and welded chemical tanks.
321 plates can withstand high temperatures and stress corrosion. Titanium stabilization decreases carbide formation, making it suitable for aerospace, exhaust systems, and high-temperature applications.
The 347 grade provides good resistance to intergranular corrosion. Niobium stabilization enhances the durability of welded structures, heat exchangers, and high-temperature equipment.
At high temperatures, 446 is especially resistant to oxidation and scaling. It is frequently used in industrial ovens, heat exchangers and furnace components.
904L provides superior corrosion resistance against acids, chlorides, and aggressive chemicals. It is suitable for chemical plants, marine equipment, and highly corrosive environments.
Stainless steel plates come in a variety of conventional and customized sizes. The table contains detailed dimensions, thicknesses and widths.

Stainless steel plates come in various finishes to match appearance and functionality needs. Each finish offers a different texture, shine, and corrosion resistance.
| Surface Finish | Description / Typical Use |
| No.1 | Hot-rolled, annealed and pickled. Rough, matte surface used where finish is not critical. |
| 2D | Cold-rolled, annealed and pickled; smooth, dull gray finish commonly used for forming and general fabrication. |
| 2B | Cold-rolled, annealed, pickled and lightly polished to a smooth, bright finish — most common general-purpose finish. |
| BA (Bright Annealed) | Bright annealed in a controlled atmosphere producing a reflective surface, slightly less reflective than No.8. |
| No.4 (Brushed / Satin) | Uniform fine polish using ~150–180 grit; produces a brushed satin appearance used in appliances and architectural panels. |
| Hairline | Long, continuous directional polish with very fine grain — decorative panels, elevator interiors, trim. |
| No.8 / 8K (Mirror) | Highly polished, mirror-like surface for decorative applications and reflective surfaces. |
| Bead / Sand Blasted | Matte, non-reflective surface created by abrasive or bead blasting; reduces glare and hides small imperfections. |
| Etched | Acid or chemical etching to create patterns, textures or logos for decorative applications. |
| Embossed / Checkered (Tread) | Raised patterns such as 5-bar tread for slip-resistance and decorative purposes; commonly used for flooring and plates. |
Stainless steel plates offer strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. They fit seamlessly into many industrial uses.
