Established in Liaocheng, Shandong, China, Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd. specializes in manufacturing and exporting stainless steel plates and sheets. Our 304 stainless steel plate is a trusted choice for global buyers seeking reliable material for construction, manufacturing, and engineering projects. This 2mm thick, 4x8 feet cold rolled sheet metal plate combines the strength of stainless steel with a smooth finish and tight dimensional consistency. With a strong focus on quality control and customer satisfaction, we provide a dependable supply chain for both bulk orders and custom specifications.
Product Overview
304 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. The 2mm thickness offers sufficient rigidity while remaining easy to cut, bend, and fabricate. The standard 4x8 feet size, equivalent to 1220mm x 2440mm, is one of the most commonly used sheet dimensions in the industry, suitable for a wide range of applications.
Key Features
- High corrosion resistance – resists rust and oxidation in most atmospheric and industrial environments
- Good mechanical properties – provides a balance of strength and ductility for forming and structural use
- Cold rolling process – ensures accurate thickness, smooth surface finish, and improved yield strength
- Flat and clean surface – ready for cutting, welding, polishing, or painting
- Wide compatibility – works with common fabrication methods including laser cutting, CNC punching, and bending
- Customizable sizes – shearing and cutting services available to meet specific dimensional requirements

Important Characteristics
304 stainless steel is one of the most versatile and widely used stainless steel grades. Its austenitic structure gives it excellent toughness, from cryogenic temperatures up to high temperatures. It is easily weldable and formable, which are essential properties for manufacturing components such as tanks, pipes, and structural parts. The low carbon variant of 304 is often preferred for heavy-gauge welded components; however, our 2mm plate is designed for general fabrication where corrosion resistance and surface appearance are key requirements.
Cold Rolled vs Hot Rolled
Cold rolled stainless steel sheet is produced by rolling the steel at room temperature, which enhances dimensional precision and surface smoothness. Compared to hot rolled products, cold rolled plates exhibit better flatness, tighter tolerances, and a more attractive finish. This makes them ideal for applications where appearance and precise dimensions are critical.
Customization Options
We support various customization services to meet project-specific requirements. Customers can request custom lengths up to 6000mm, custom widths, or special surface treatments such as brushed, mirror, or matte finishes. Additional processing options include laser cutting, water jet cutting, bending, punching, and welding. All services are available upon request and can be performed to your drawings or samples.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the exact thickness of this stainless steel plate?
The thickness is 2 millimeters, which is equivalent to 0.0787 inches. Tolerances are maintained according to standard industry practices, and specific tolerance requirements can be confirmed upon request.
Q2: Can I order custom sizes?
Yes, we offer cutting and custom sizing services. Please specify your required width and length, and our team will provide a quotation and production schedule.
Q3: What is the difference between cold rolled and hot rolled stainless steel?
Cold rolled sheets are processed at room temperature, resulting in a smoother surface finish and tighter dimensional tolerances. Hot rolled material is generally thicker and has a rougher surface, making cold rolled sheets more suitable for applications that require accurate thickness and appearance.
Q4: Do you provide material certifications?
We are ISO9001 certified for quality management systems. Relevant material test certificates can be provided upon request to support your project documentation.
Q5: How is the plate packed for shipping?
Each sheet is covered with protective film or paper, then bundled with steel straps and placed on wooden pallets. Edge protectors are added to prevent damage. This export-standard packaging ensures safe delivery.
Q6: What is the minimum order quantity?
The MOQ is flexible and can be discussed based on your project requirements. For standard 4x8 sheets, we accept small trial orders to help you evaluate our quality.
Q7: Can you handle large quantities for construction projects?
Yes, our annual export value ranges from US$50 million to US$100 million, and we have the capacity to supply bulk orders with stable lead times.
Q8: What payment terms do you accept?
