316L Checker plate – ASTM A240M/A793, AISI316L
The most efficient route for a stainless steel production mill to produce plate (5mm and over) is in coil form. The coil is then further downstream processed by the mill or through a service centre with equipment to flatten (often called ‘levelling’) and cut to length.

The maximum plate width produced by mills from a coil is 2000mm and the maximum thickness is 13mm for hot rolled and 8mm for cold rolled.

TIASCO has the capability to process large stainless steel coils in thickness up to 20mm and in widths to 2500 mm.

This enables an extensive range of cold and hot-rolled coils to be held with the flexibility to convert into small coils, sheet, strip and plate in standard and customised lengths.
