1、 Basic concepts

Metal plate refers to a flat material processed from metal as the main raw material, including aluminum plate, galvanized plate, copper plate, iron plate, etc. Stainless steel is a high alloy steel 

that contains no less than 10.5% chromium and has corrosion and heat resistance properties. It is widely used in the manufacturing of various chemical reactors, petroleum pipelines, pressure 

vessels, and other fields.

2、 Chemical composition

The chemical composition of metal plates is relatively simple, with a single metal as the main component, such as aluminum in aluminum plates and iron in iron plates. Stainless steel often 

contains various elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, etc. Among them, the mass fraction of chromium is generally not less than 10.5%, which plays a key role in its corrosion

 resistance performance.

3、 Performance

There is a significant difference in performance between metal plates and stainless steel. Metal plates are generally lightweight, have low strength, and are prone to deformation, rust, and

 other phenomena; Stainless steel has high strength, high hardness, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance, making it an important material widely used in industries, construction, and other fields.

4、 Application field

Metal plates are suitable for manufacturing fields such as automobiles, electronic products, building decorations, as well as some simple machine components, molds, etc. Stainless steel is

 suitable for manufacturing high-end fields such as medical devices, chemical equipment, marine equipment, aerospace, etc., and has a wide range of application prospects.

In summary, there are significant differences between metal plates and stainless steel in terms of raw materials, chemical composition, performance, and application fields. Therefore, in the 

process of material selection and application, reasonable selection should be made based on specific needs.
