Stainless Steel UNS S31603 Plates

Stainless steel plates UNS S31603 comprise iron, chromium, molybdenum, and nickel. Generally speaking, the higher the nickel content of a stainless steel grade, the more corrosion-resistant it is. In the case of UNS S31603 plates, their composition of iron-chromium-molybdenum-nickel protects against common environmental hazards such as wet chlorine and seawater. This alloy's nitrogen addition also allows for improved machinability in fabrication processes. Furthermore, due to its low levels of carbon compared to other grades of stainless steel plates, weldability properties are also enhanced. Thus, UNS S31603 plates are an ideal choice for applications sensitive to chloride stress corrosion cracking or where joining is necessary.

Ss UNS S31603 Plates are a multi-purpose alloy that can be used for various applications in various industries. This grade features excellent corrosion resistance and pitting/crevice corrosion resistance, making it a practical and attractive choice for use in highly corrosive environments such as seawater and chemicals. Moreover, its excellent formability makes it ideal for fabricating intricate shapes like narrow vessels and tanks or precisely-shaped components. Furthermore, these plates are resistant to oxidation up to 870°C, suitable for working at moderately high temperatures and have excellent welding characteristics with smooth welds that are uniform profile. All these traits make Stainless Steel UNS S31603 Plates an ideal choice for manufacturing parts exposed to chemical processing, oil refining, marine environments, paper production, condensers and evaporators.
