For 2025, 304L plate remains the most cost-effective austenitic stainless choice for welded and general-purpose applications. Price levels are lower than the 2021–2022 metal-shock peak but remain sensitive to nickel and chromium raw-material swings; geographically,
As of August 2025, 317L stainless-steel coil remains a premium 300-series alloy: because of its higher nickel and molybdenum content versus 304/316 families, it typically trades at a marked premium to common 300-series coils. Prices
ASTM A276 Type 316 bar remains the most widely specified marine-grade austenitic bar for corrosive and hygienic environments in 2025. Prices this year are driven more by molybdenum and nickel feedstock costs, regional energy and
In 2025, ASTM A582/A582M stainless steel bars — most commonly supplied in the free-machining 303 family — remain the industrial choice for high-volume machining tasks. Market prices have shifted regionally (China and India remain price-competitive
We estimate that ASTM 347 stainless steel plate wholesale prices in 2025 typically range from USD 1.8–4.5 per kg (≈ USD 1,800–4,500 per metric ton) depending on region, mill-finish, and order scale — with China-origin
In 2025, ASTM A312 stainless steel pipe remains the global industrial baseline for austenitic stainless piping. Prices continue to vary widely by grade (304 vs 316 and specialty “H”/low-C variants), by order quantity (cut-length retail
ASTM A213 stainless-steel tubes remain premium, application-specific products in 2025 — priced significantly above commodity stainless sheet/coil because of their seamless manufacture, tighter tolerances, and boiler-/heat-exchanger qualifications. Typical market ranges for common ASTM A213 grades
In 2025, 5052 aluminum plate remains an economical, corrosion-resistant 5xxx-series alloy widely used for marine, transportation, and architectural applications. For large industrial purchases the typical wholesale range today is roughly USD $2,600–$4,200 per metric ton
For procurement of 1070 aluminum plate in 2025 we find that commodity-level primary aluminium prices (the LME-backed benchmark) and China factory ex-works offers together set realistic delivered price ranges: roughly $2,200–$3,200 per metric ton for
