Composition: The main components of stainless steel plate are chromium and nickel, which belong to chromium nickel stainless steel; Carbon steel plate is carbon and iron as the main components. Appearance: The surface of the stainless steel plate is smooth, silver bright and shiny, while the surface of the carbon steel plate is gray and rough.
Magnetic: Carbon steel plate has a certain magnetism, can be adsorbed by magnets, and stainless steel plate is completely not magnetic.
Corrosion resistance: The corrosion resistance of stainless steel plate is better than that of carbon steel plate, because stainless steel contains chromium element, which can form a layer of chromium oxide on the surface to prevent the metal from being corroded. Carbon steel plate has poor corrosion resistance because it has no chromium element.
Wear resistance: The wear resistance of carbon steel plate is better than that of stainless steel plate, because carbon steel has higher hardness than stainless steel and has better wear resistance. Ductility: The ductility of stainless steel plate is better than that of carbon steel plate, mainly because stainless steel plate contains nickel element, and nickel element has good ductility.
Price: The price of stainless steel plate is usually higher than that of carbon steel plate, mainly because stainless steel plate needs to add a large number of alloying elements in the production process.
In summary, there are obvious differences between stainless steel plate and carbon steel plate in terms of composition, appearance, magnetism, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, ductility and price, so it is necessary to choose the right product according to the use environment and performance requirements.
