Feature | Specification | Application Scenario |
---|---|---|
Material | SS400 steel (ASTM A370 certified) | Structural components in construction |
Thickness | Customizable (0.5mm–12mm) | Lightweight cladding (thin) to beams (thick) |
Surface Finish | Black oxide coating | Corrosion resistance in outdoor environments |
Processing | Bending, welding, punching, cutting | Tailored fabrication for machinery parts |
Type | Steel coil or sheet | Mass production (coil) or precision cuts (sheet) |
Adjustable thickness and size parameters allow customization to meet specific load-bearing needs (e.g., 3mm sheets for roofing vs. 10mm sheets for structural beams). Pair with surface treatments for enhanced corrosion resistance in marine or industrial settings.
With SS400 steel’s balance of strength and cost-efficiency, architects and engineers can craft durable frameworks, machinery parts, and storage solutions. Its black oxide finish eliminates the need for additional priming, speeding up installation in outdoor projects.

Category | Usage Scenarios | Characteristics | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|---|---|
Material Grade | Structural frameworks (buildings, bridges) | SS400 (400 MPa yield strength) ▲ (Industry Standard: Q235 @235 MPa) | Higher strength-to-cost ratio for load-bearing applications | Slightly higher cost than lower-grade steels (e.g., Q235) |
Surface Finish | Indoor construction projects | Black finish (uncoated) ▲ (vs galvanized for corrosive environments) | Cost-effective for non-corrosive indoor use | Requires additional coating for outdoor or marine applications |
Tensile Strength | Heavy machinery parts | 400 MPa (ASTM A370 compliant) ▲ | Enhanced durability under high-stress conditions | Less ductility compared to lower-grade steels |
Processing Versatility | Custom fabrication projects | Supports cutting, bending, welding, punching (ISO 9001-certified) | Flexible customization for diverse applications (e.g., machinery, tools) | Requires specialized equipment for advanced processes like precision welding |
Thickness Range | Diverse construction needs | 1.5–6 mm ▲ (Covers light to heavy-duty structural requirements) | Versatile for applications from roofing to load-bearing beams | Storage and handling complexity due to varied thicknesses |
Certification Compliance | International projects | ASTM A370 certified ▲ (vs regional/local standards) | Meets global quality benchmarks for export and multinational projects | May incur additional costs to align with niche regional specifications |
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilkins - Structural Contractor
"We’ve used the SS400 steel sheets (Advanced Model, 10mm) for a warehouse expansion project, and the material exceeded expectations. The ASTM A370 certification gave us confidence in load-bearing performance, and the black oxide finish held up well during rainy construction phases. Custom CNC bending and cutting services saved us nearly two weeks in fabrication time. Strongly recommend for industrial builds."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Home Renovation Project
"I used the Base Model (2mm thickness) for a custom steel pergola and side cladding. As a DIYer, I was worried about welding, but the SS400 handled MIG welding smoothly. The black finish looks sleek without extra painting, and after six months in a coastal climate, zero rust spots. For a home project, this is a surprisingly professional-grade material at a reasonable price."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Arjun Patel - Machinery Parts Manufacturer
"We source SS400 sheets monthly for custom conveyor frames. The consistent thickness (6–8mm) and clean decoiling make our production line efficient. Compared to Q235, the 345MPa yield strength reduces deformation in high-stress joints. Only downside: thicker sheets (above 10mm) require pre-heating for welding, which isn’t mentioned upfront. Still, 9/10 for reliability and service."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sofia Alvarez - Coastal Construction Engineer
"Used the Pro Model with galvanized coating (12mm) for a seaside walkway support structure. After five months of salt spray and humidity, zero corrosion—the galvanization triples the lifespan as promised. The HS Code 7210.15.00 also made customs clearance seamless when importing to the Caribbean. This is now our go-to for marine-adjacent builds."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daniel Kim - Architectural Firm
"Selected SS400 sheets for a mixed-use building’s exposed structural beams and decorative panels. The ability to use 3mm sheets for cladding and 10mm for beams from the same material line simplified sourcing and aesthetics. The black finish integrates naturally with modern design—no primer, no delays. Plus, clients love that it’s ASTM-certified and globally compliant."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months

Dr. Linda Foster - Civil Engineer & Materials Specialist
"For mid-to-heavy load applications, SS400 steel offers the best balance of strength, cost, and processability. Its 400MPa tensile strength and ASTM A370 compliance make it superior to Q235 in structural integrity. I recommend the Advanced or Pro Models for any project exposed to moisture or dynamic loads."
Carlos Mendez - Industrial Fabrication Consultant
"Having audited over 30 fabrication shops, I can say SS400’s compatibility with laser cutting and CNC bending is a major advantage. The material’s consistency reduces scrap rates by up to 18% compared to uncertified steels. Pair it with on-demand processing, and you significantly cut lead times."
