Stainless Steel Storage Tanks
Stainless Steel Sheets in Industrial Manufacturing
Stainless steel sheets have a wide range of applications in industrial manufacturing. These sheets are preferred due to their advantages, including high strength, corrosion resistance, hygienic properties, and aesthetic appearance.
304 Stainless Steel
- Properties:
- Corrosion Resistance: Exhibits excellent performance, especially in humid and acidic environments.
- Strength: Provides high strength and durability.
- Weldability: Features good weldability.
- Thermal Resistance: Resistant to high temperatures.
- Surface Types:
- 2B Surface: Matte, non-reflective surface. Cold-rolled and annealed, finished with a light roll. Used in general industrial applications.
- No. 4 Surface: Finished with fine sanding, providing a shiny and aesthetic surface. Ideal for decorative purposes and applications requiring hygiene.
430 Stainless Steel
- Properties:
- Corrosion Resistance: Moderate corrosion resistance, performing well in dry and slightly humid environments.
- Strength: Offers high strength.
- Magnetic Properties: 430 stainless steel has magnetic properties.
- Economical: A more cost-effective option compared to 304.
- Surface Types:
- No. 4 Surface: Finished with fine sanding, providing a shiny and aesthetic surface. Suitable for decorative purposes.
Processing Stainless Steel Products on Industrial Machines
Stainless steel products are processed using various methods on industrial machines. CNC cutting allows precise cutting of stainless steel sheets and profiles to desired dimensions. This ensures high accuracy in product manufacturing and perfect fit during assembly.
Bending processes shape stainless steel sheets and profiles into desired forms. This allows structural elements to be bent into specific angles and shapes to fit project requirements. Drilling and hole-punching operations create mounting and connection points in stainless steel materials, which is a critical step for assembling structural elements and completing projects.
Stainless Steel Storage Tanks
Stainless steel storage tanks are widely used in various industries. These tanks are preferred in fields such as food and beverage, chemical and petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and water treatment due to their high corrosion resistance and durability.
- Production Process: The production of storage tanks begins with the design and planning phase. The tank is designed according to its intended use, and production is planned. Stainless steel sheets are selected and cut to desired dimensions using CNC cutting machines. The cut sheets are bent into the tank’s shape using specialized bending machines. Stainless steel sheets and other parts are joined using MIG, TIG, or laser welding methods. All parts are assembled, and the tank undergoes a leak test and quality control.
- Applications: Stainless steel storage tanks are used in the food and beverage industry for storing milk, fruit juice, beer, wine, and other beverages. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, they safely store chemical substances. In the pharmaceutical industry, they are used for storing pharmaceutical raw materials and products under sterile conditions. Additionally, they are commonly used in treatment plants for storing clean water and
