Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.243-inch thick stock sheet measures 47 inches in length and 16 inches in width. Composed of 304 stainless steel, it exhibits excellent tensile strength (typically 515 MPa or 75 ksi) and yield strength (typically 205 MPa or 30 ksi), making it ideal for applications requiring significant load-bearing capacity. Its inherent corrosion resistance due to chromium and nickel content ensures longevity in corrosive or high-moisture environments. The sheet's formability allows for custom fabrication into specialized pulling and lifting components.
