Stainless Steel Plate 5mm
A 5mm stainless steel plate offers a precise thickness combined with good mechanical properties and surface versatility. Standard width and length options, together with various surface finishes, make it suitable for industrial, architectural, and decorative applications.
- Description
Stainless steel plate 5mm is a widely used material in industries where corrosion resistance, strength, and precise thickness are critical. Understanding the standard specifications, dimensions, and tolerances of a 5mm stainless steel plate is essential for design, fabrication, and engineering applications.
Standard Thickness and Tolerance
-
Nominal Thickness: 5mm
-
Typical Tolerance: ±0.1mm to ±0.15mm depending on grade and standard
-
Manufacturing Accuracy: Cold rolled plates usually have tighter tolerances than hot rolled plates
Common Widths and Lengths
Stainless steel plates are manufactured in a variety of sizes to meet different industrial needs. Standard dimensions for a 5mm plate typically include:
| Width (mm) | Length (mm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 | 2000 | Standard size for general fabrication |
| 1219 | 2438 | Common in construction and machinery |
| 1500 | 3000 | Large sheets for industrial use |
| 2000 | 6000 | Custom cutting available for large projects |
Custom widths and lengths can often be processed according to project requirements.
Surface Finishes
The surface finish of a 5mm stainless steel plate can vary depending on application requirements:
-
2B Finish: Smooth, matte surface suitable for industrial fabrication
-
BA (Bright Annealed): Reflective, mirror-like finish for decorative or architectural applications
-
No.4 / Brushed Finish: Brushed texture commonly used for appliance panels and interior design
-
HL (Hairline): Linear brushed pattern, often for elevator panels, interior walls, or handrails
Key Notes on 5mm Stainless Steel Plate
-
Versatile Usage: Suitable for automotive, construction, machinery, kitchen appliances, and decorative panels.
-
Easy Processing: Can be cut, bent, welded, and fabricated with standard industrial tools.
-
Grade Compatibility: Available in common stainless steel grades like 304, 316, 430, depending on corrosion resistance and mechanical requirements.
-
Thickness Consistency: 5mm is considered a medium-thick plate, ideal for structural and functional applications where both rigidity and processability are needed.
