Weston Stainless of Midland, UK, is a reliable stainless steel products supplier of high-grade stainless steel materials, serving the varied industrial demands with precision components. Of their products, Stainless Steel 305 Sheets and Plates are appreciated for their excellent corrosion resistance, excellent formability, and non-hardening characteristics. Made from Grade 305 stainless steel, the sheets and plates have a greater nickel content, which improves ductility and work hardening prevention. Presented in many shapes and forms, including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and perforated sheets, they are well suited for deep drawn parts, kitchen appliances, food processing, and marine use demanding high durability and easy fabrication.
Stainless Steel 305 Sheets and Plates consist of carbon (≤0.12%), chromium (17-19%), nickel (10.5-13%), manganese (≤2%), silicon (≤1%), phosphorus (≤0.045%), and sulfur (≤0.03%), with superior corrosion resistance and high ductility. The mechanical properties of these are tensile strength ≥515 MPa, yield strength ≥205 MPa, elongation ≥40%, and hardness ≤201 Brinell (HB). Physical properties have a density of 8.0 g/cm³, melting point of 1400-1450°C, thermal conductivity of 16.3 W/m·K, and electrical resistivity of 720 nΩ·m, making them suitable for deep-drawing and forming operations

Corrosion-resistant, strong, and versatile. These sheets are usually available in various thicknesses between 1.5mm and 25mm and up to 2000mm in width. Ideally, they find applications in heavy-duty sectors and structural elements.
Excellent corrosion resistance and a smooth, polished surface. They are available in thicknesses from 0.3mm to 3mm and widths up to 1500mm and are widely used in automotive, kitchen, and architectural applications.
Surface patterned with slip resistance; they have a good corrosion-resistant property. It is available in 2mm to 10mm thickness and 1250mm width for use in flooring and stair treads.
Specially designed to exhibit excellent corrosion resistance, having holes for ventilation and aesthetic purposes. They usually vary in sizes ranging from 0.5mm to 6mm thickness. The sheet may be ordered as per required dimension and hole pattern.
Used for precise spacing and levelling, these shim sheets provide superior corrosion resistance. These are available in thicknesses ranging from 0.1mm to 3mm and in various dimensions and are ideal for mechanical and structural applications where exact tolerances are required.
Excellent corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal, polished plates come in thickness from 0.5mm up to 50mm and up to 2000mm width. They are mainly used for decorative and high-visibility applications where a desired high-gloss finish is achieved.
Stainless Steel 305 Plates and Sheets have universal application where great formability and corrosion resistance are needed. They are specifically used for deep drawn parts, domestic appliances, food processing plants, and building ornaments because they have high ductility and no tendency to harden. Sheets and plates find very extensive usage in marine and chemical processing operations, storage tanks, and auto trim, where the need for resisting oxidation and moisture is predominant. In addition, they occur in electrical enclosures, medical devices, aerospace parts, and industrial equipment to provide strength, ease of fabrication, and dependable performance under severe conditions.
Stainless Steel 305 Sheets and Plates are accompanied by test certificates such as Mill Test Certificate (MTC) according to EN 10204 3.1/3.2, third-party inspection reports, and raw material test certificates to assure adherence to international quality standards. They are packed securely in wooden crates, pallets, or water-resistant wrapping to avoid transit damage. Reliable delivery is prompt and efficient with customized shipping services to suit the needs of industrial and commercial projects across the globe.
