SS Sheet

SS Sheet

Stainless steel sheet is available in Type 304 and Type 316. Type 304 can be easily roll-formed or bent, and its excellent corrosion resistance and weldability make it one of the most popular grades. Type 316 is a high corrosion resistance alloy, providing greater resistance to pitting-type corrosion. Typical uses for Type 316 include marine, chemical, paper, textile, and food service applications, such as a stainless steel backsplash. Our stainless steel sheet is dual certified 316/316L, which helps prevent corrosion after welding.

316 2B Finish

Better corrosion resistance as well as higher strength at elevated temperatures than 304. Used for pumps, valves, textile and chemical equipment, pulp & paper and marine applications. The 2B finish is a bright, cold rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern.


430 2B Finish

Combines good corrosion resistance and heat and oxidation resistance up to 1500°F with good mechanical properties. Unlike the other grades we carry, type 430 is magnetic. Applications include oil refinery equipment, roofing and siding, and restaurant equipment. The 2B finish is a bright, cold rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern.


309 2D finish

Provides excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance plus good strength at room and elevated temperatures. Typical uses include furnace parts, heating elements, aircraft and jet engine parts, heat exchangers, kiln liners, boiler baffles, refinery and chemical processing equipment, and auto exhaust parts. The 2D finish is a dull, cold rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern.


304 #4 Polish

This is the most common alloy used for sheet metal fabrication. It has good formability and weldability, and offers good corrosion resistance to both chemical and atmospheric conditions. The #4 Polish finish has a 150-180 grit grain in one direction.


304 #8 Mirror Finish

This is the most common alloy used for sheet metal fabrication. It has good formability and weldability, and offers good corrosion resistance to both chemical and atmospheric conditions. The #8 Mirror finish is a polished, highly reflective finish with the grain marks polished out.


304 2B Finish

This is the most common alloy of stainless steel used for sheet metal fabrication. It has good formability and weldability, and offers good corrosion resistance to both chemical and atmospheric conditions. The 2B finish is a bright, cold rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern.


There are a variety of finishes available on stainless steel sheet

#8 Mirror Finish 

The #8 Mirror finish is a polished, highly reflective finish with the grain marks polished out. It is closest to the top in the picture above.  As you can see from the reflection of our warehouse ceiling in the piece, the polishing results in a true mirror-like finish.


#4 Polish 

The #4 Polish finish has a 150-180 grit grain in one direction. This finish is often used when the material is subject to rough handling, such as restaurant equipment.  It is in the middle in the picture above.  When we cut #4 polished stainless for you, the grain will run whichever way allows us to utilize the material best.  If you need a certain grain direction on your pieces, please call and let us know.


2B Finish 

The 2B finish is a bright, cold-rolled industrial finish with no grain pattern. This is the standard industrial finish you'll find on stainless steel sheet.  It is closest to the bottom in the picture above.  It is bright, but not polished like the other finishes.
