What condition is required for E1 1.2316 plates?

The published E1 material condition for 1.2316 is pre-hardened. Length and width must each be ≤600 mm, with thickness 10–200 mm; other conditions or dimensions need separate review.

Can I replace 1.2316 with S136 on the same quote?

They are separate catalog designations. Request the exact grade required by the approved specification; any proposed substitution needs explicit technical agreement.

Does a 1.2316 grade designation include UT acceptance?

No. Request the UT method, inspection scope, acceptance requirements and report when ordering. The steel designation alone does not define an ultrasonic inspection plan.

Grinding and Milling Options

Each catalog reference carries its selected scope into the quotation form. Finished dimensions, material records and acceptance follow the approved order.

LCD-PL-1.2316-G2

Two-side ground + four-side milled

Precision grinding on two reference faces, with the four remaining faces milled. Thickness and length/width have separate tolerances.

Length / width: ±0.10 mm
Thickness: ±0.05 mm
Parallelism: 0.04 mm / 100 mm between the ground reference faces
Material condition: Confirm the material condition for the order
Size scope: Maximum processing: 1200×800×400 mm; process review required

Finish dimensions and material condition are agreed for the selected grade. Large plates and additional geometric requirements need drawing-specific review.

E1 six-side precision ground

All six faces precision ground under the published E1 grade, condition and size limits.

Length / width: ±0.02 mm
Thickness: ±0.02 mm
Parallelism: 0.02 mm / 100 mm
Material condition: Pre-hardened
Size scope: L and W each ≤600 mm; T 10–200 mm

LCD-PL-1.2316-M6

Six-side precision milled

All six faces precision milled to the agreed finished dimensions. Use the drawing to identify any additional grinding requirements.

Length / width: ±0.10 mm
Thickness: ±0.10 mm
Parallelism: 0.08 mm / 100 mm
Material condition: Confirm the material condition for the order
Size scope: Maximum processing: 1200×800×400 mm; process review required

Finish dimensions and material condition are agreed for the selected grade. Large plates and additional geometric requirements need drawing-specific review.

Grade and condition limits

E1 for 1.2316 requires pre-hardened condition, length and width each ≤600 mm, and thickness 10–200 mm. The three dimensional tolerances are ±0.02 mm; parallelism is 0.02 mm per 100 mm. Larger sizes, annealed material or additional requirements need separate review.

Grade designations are listed separately; no automatic equivalence or substitution is assumed. Per-100-mm parallelism does not define whole-plate flatness or surface roughness.

Drawing and Quotation Checklist

Specify 1.2316 and the required condition directly on the drawing and material-document request.
Use the pre-hardened E1 route only within its dimensional envelope.
List geometric acceptance and any UT requirements separately from the grade name and face finish.

Include quantity, drawing revision, required inspection documents and delivery destination. Single-piece and small-batch inquiries are accepted.

Inspection and Production Planning

MTC material documentation, hardness and dimensional inspection reports can be requested. UT reports are available on request with an agreed scope. Regular plate sizes range from 100×100×20 to 800×600×300 mm; maximum processing size is 1200×800×400 mm, subject to grade, condition and finish review. This maximum does not carry the E1 tolerance.

Typical production: 3–7 working days. Working days exclude weekends and statutory public holidays in China. The clock starts on the next working day after formal PO receipt, final drawing/specification approval and applicable deposit receipt are all completed. Transport time is separate.
