Corrosion resistance
The stainless steel plate has a general corrosion resistance similar to that of the unstable ni-Cr 304. Prolonged heating in the temperature range at chromium carbide levels may affect alloys 321 and 347 in harsh corrosive media. Mainly used in high temperature applications, which require strong resistance to sensitization of materials to prevent intergranular corrosion at lower temperatures.

Steel is coated with zinc during the manufacturing process of galvanization to stop it from rusting. The base metal is protected by the zinc layer. It achieves this by serving as protection against different corrosive chemicals. As a result, it has a sacrificial nature that yields a superior and durable steel product.
