Application & Selection Reasons of Cold/Hot Rolled 304 Stainless Steel Plates
Application Functions in Various Fields
1. Kitchen Field
Cold-rolled 304 plate: Applied to kitchenware panels, sinks, food-contact tableware/shelves. It has a smooth burr-free surface, oil-resistant and easy to clean, meets food-grade safety standards, resists corrosion from water and condiments, and high forming precision for special-shaped kitchenware.
Hot-rolled 304 plate: Used for kitchen equipment brackets, cabinet frames, heavy kitchenware bases. It has high mechanical strength, good load-bearing capacity, easy processing and high cost performance, suitable for basic production of various load-bearing structures in kitchens.
2. Engineering Project Field
Cold-rolled 304 plate: Adopted in building decoration panels, curtain wall finishes, stair handrails/guardrails. It features high surface flatness, nice appearance, excellent bending and stamping formability, suitable for fine building decoration and light structural part production.
Hot-rolled 304 plate: Used for building steel structure components, bridge auxiliary parts, municipal engineering embedded parts. It has good weather resistance, high impact strength, can be cut and welded directly, suitable for heavy load structures and basic construction of large projects.
3. Industrial Field
Cold-rolled 304 plate: Applied to industrial equipment shells, precision parts, fluid pipeline linings. It has high dimensional accuracy, delicate surface, can be polished, meeting the sealing and corrosion resistance requirements of precision equipment.
Hot-rolled 304 plate: Used for industrial storage tanks, heavy machinery bases, steelmaking/chemical auxiliary parts. It has good high temperature resistance, high structural strength, suitable for rough processing, meeting the basic needs of industrial heavy load and harsh working conditions.
