JIS G4305 SUS436L Steel Plate | 436L BA/2B Stainless Steel
General Description
As a professional stainless steel supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present JIS G4305 SUS436L Steel Plate (also known as 436L stainless steel).
SUS436L is a low-carbon ferritic stainless steel under the Japanese standard JIS G4305 for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheets and strips. It contains chromium and molybdenum, with very low carbon content, providing significantly better resistance to pitting and general corrosion than standard 430, while offering improved weldability and formability. It is fully magnetic and serves as a cost-effective high-performance ferritic grade for many applications. The most common surface finishes are 2B and BA.
SHH STEEL supplies SUS436L as Mill Direct Supply, sourcing directly from major Chinese stainless steel mills. This ensures competitive mill pricing, consistent quality, shorter lead times and full traceability. We offer thicknesses from 0.3 mm to 3.0 mm, widths up to 1500 mm, in coil or cut-to-length form. All materials are delivered with full Mill Test Certificates.

Chemical Composition
Chemical composition according to JIS G4305 (Heat Analysis – typical for SUS436L):
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.025 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 1.00 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.00 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.040 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.030 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 16.00 – 19.00 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 0.75 – 1.50 |
| Nickel (Ni) | ≤ 0.60 |
| Titanium / Niobium | Stabilizing elements (as required) |
Note: The combination of low carbon and molybdenum addition provides superior corrosion resistance and weldability compared with standard 430 and 434 grades.
