ASTM A240 Plate

Check SA 240 Sheet chemical composition and ASTM A240 Sheet tolerance

What is ASTM A240?
ASTM A240 is a standard specification for stainless steel plates. The Sa 240 Sheet is made up of the standard 18-8 material, which means it contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel in its chemical composition. There are different grades under this specification, and the exact features of the product would vary with the grade.

What material is SA 240 316?
The SA 240 316 material has a standard specification of SA 240, and it has 316 grade of stainless steel. The grade 316 of ASTM A240 Sheet shows good corrosion resisting properties, and they have high strength. This is why the grade have a wide range of applications in heat exchangers, condensers, and various critical industries.

Difference between ASTM A240 Type 304 and 304L
One of the key differences between ASTM A240 Type 304 and 304L is in the amount of carbon present in their chemical composition. The ASTM A240 Type 304 Plate has a maximum amount of 0.08% carbon in its composition, while the 304L grade has a maximum of 0.03% carbon. The L in 304L grade indicates extra low carbon. The amount of nickel between the two grades also varies, which is why there is a difference in their mechanical and physical properties.

Advantages of ASTM A240 316l Stainless Steel Plate
The ASTM A240 316l Stainless Steel Plate shows good resistance to corrosion and they also have excellent strength properties. The 316L grade is more corrosion resistant than 316 grade stainless steel. They possess excellent formability and fabricability. The material has great forming and welding capabilities too.

Is ASTM A240 304 annealed?
The ASTM A240 304 Sheet is generally produced in the annealed condition, and then they are either blast cleaned or pickled.
