Stainless Steel

A: We offers a comprehensive range of stainless steel grades including 304/304L, 316/316L, 316Ti, 321, 310S, 2205 duplex, and 904L super austenitic stainless steel. For highly corrosive environments, we recommend avoiding standard 304 grade and instead utilizing 316L, which contains molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-rich settings. For extreme corrosion applications, our 904L and duplex grades (2205, 2507) provide superior performance in aggressive chemical environments, seawater exposure, and high-temperature acidic conditions. Our metallurgical experts can provide detailed consultation to ensure you select the optimal grade for your specific application requirements.

A: Our factory maintains flexible minimum order quantities (MOQs) to accommodate various customer needs. For standard grades like 304 and 316L in common dimensions, MOQs can be as low as 500kg, while specialty grades may require 1-2 ton minimums. Lead times typically range from 2-3 weeks for stock items to 4-6 weeks for custom specifications or specialty grades. For large projects, we recommend placing orders with sufficient lead time to ensure timely delivery. As a leading stainless steel manufacturer, we maintain substantial inventory of common specifications to serve urgent requirements and can provide expedited production when necessary.

A: Quality assurance is paramount at our enterprise. We implement a rigorous multi-stage quality control system that includes raw material verification, in-process inspections, and final product testing. Each batch undergoes chemical composition analysis using spectrometers, mechanical property testing, and dimensional verification. We provide comprehensive mill test certificates (MTCs) with each shipment, documenting chemical composition, mechanical properties, and heat treatment details. Additionally, we can arrange third-party inspection by internationally recognized agencies upon request. Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards, and we maintain traceability throughout our production process to ensure authentic, high-quality stainless steel products.

A: Our stainless steel sheets and plates are available in a wide range of surface finishes to meet diverse application requirements. Standard options include 2B (smooth, reflective finish), No.4 (brushed finish), BA (bright annealed), 2D (matte finish), and No.1 (hot-rolled). We also offer specialized finishes such as hairline, mirror polish (up to 8K), embossed patterns, and PVC film-coated surfaces for protection during transportation and fabrication. Our distributor network provides custom finishing services including laser cutting, water jet cutting, and precision blanking. All finishes comply with ASTM, EN, or JIS standards as required, and we can develop custom finishes to meet specific aesthetic or functional requirements.

A: Yes, our factory offers comprehensive custom fabrication and processing services for all stainless steel products. These include precision cutting (laser, plasma, and waterjet), bending, rolling, welding, machining, heat treatment, and surface finishing. We can produce components according to your engineering drawings or specifications, with capabilities for both prototype and high-volume production. Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with advanced CNC machinery and staffed by skilled technicians with extensive experience in stainless steel fabrication. For specialized projects, our engineering team can provide design assistance to optimize material usage and manufacturing processes, ensuring cost-effective solutions while maintaining required performance characteristics.

A: We offer comprehensive international logistics solutions including sea freight, air freight, and express courier services with all necessary export documentation. Our payment terms are flexible, primarily T/T, with options for L/C, D/A, and D/P to accommodate different customer needs.
