Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.104" thick stock sheet boasts dimensions of 37" in length and 18" in width. Fabricated from high-grade 304 stainless steel, it offers excellent tensile strength and a yield strength of approximately 205 MPa (30,000 psi). Its austenitic structure provides inherent corrosion resistance, particularly against atmospheric and organic acids. This makes it suitable for environments requiring frequent cleaning or exposure to mild chemical agents. The precise dimensions ensure compatibility with standard fabrication processes and guarantee predictable performance in structural or load-bearing roles within pulling and lifting apparatus.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for corrosive environments.Always select 304 stainless steel for applications exposed to moisture or chemicals to prevent premature rust and structural degradation.
Over-stressing the sheet beyond its yield strength.Ensure that the calculated loads applied to the fabricated component do not exceed the material's yield strength of 205 MPa to prevent permanent deformation.

Common Applications

  • Reinforcement plates for lifting slings
  • Structural components in winches and hoists
  • Custom fabrication of pulling fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and fabrication.
  • Ensure proper grounding when welding or grinding stainless steel to prevent contamination and ensure corrosion resistance.
