What is the price difference between reactors made of 321 stainless steel and those made of composite panels (with a base material of Q345Q and a 321 stainless steel composite layer)?
Thread Content
I would appreciate it if an expert could advise me: what is the approximate percentage difference in price between reactors made of 321 stainless steel and those made of composite panels (with a base material of Q345Q and a 321 stainless steel composite layer)? Also, what is the price difference between 321 stainless steel and composite panels as raw materials?
I’m seeking advice from experts; waiting online right now :(
I’m definitely not aware of the price, but if the original poster wants to know it, they need to provide the thickness of the base layer and the top layer – for example, 30+4. The price is closely related to the thickness of these layers. Moreover, prices are time-sensitive; one price may apply today while another applies tomorrow. It might be possible to get in touch with some material suppliers. It should be more timely and effective than waiting for posts here
It depends on the thickness! If the price difference between a 30+3 composite plate and a 30+ thick stainless steel plate is quite large. If it is 12+3 versus stainless steel plates that are over 10 mm thick, the difference in equipment cost will not be significant.
Consider the thickness of the material; the greater the thickness, the cheaper the composite panel will be compared to pure stainless steel.
It depends on what kind of equipment the poster is using; the price will definitely vary depending on the thickness of the plate. For boards with a quantity of less than a dozen, the manufacturing costs of composite panels and pure stainless steel panels should be similar. To manufacture high-pressure vessels, thicker composite sheets are definitely required, and their price is relatively low. However, the delivery time for composite panels is relatively longer, and explosion bonding depends on the weather!
Oh, I learned it*； We have decided to use pure stainless steel; the operating temperatures are very high and production is intermittent, so we are concerned that composite materials might develop problems over time
