Stainless Steel 18 Gauge Sheets

2205 stainless steel resists cracking even when faced with a combination of tensile stress corrosive chemicals and heat.

Stainless steel 18 gauge sheets.

Ryerson stocks many varieties of stainless steel sheet including 304 stainless steel the most popular of the stainless steels.

The manufacturers standard gage provides the thicknesses for standard steel galvanized steel and stainless steel.

304 stainless steel sheet is the most popular and economical of the stainless steels. 304 stainless sheet may become slightly magnetic when worked and is not heat treatable.

304 stainless sheet offers good corrosion resistance to many chemical corrodents as well as industrial atmospheres and marine environments. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. Use it for high pressure applications in caustic environments. 304 stainless steel sheet 4 brushed finish annealed astm a240 asme sa240 0 048 thickness 12 width 12 length 18 gauge 4 2 out of 5 stars 59 24 34 24.

Also known as duplex stainless steel it has twice the strength of 316 stainless steel.
