For most corrosive-service applications where chloride and sulfuric-acid resistance matter, 904L plate remains a premium, technically appropriate choice — but its cost premium is significant versus 316/316L and many duplex grades. In 2025 we see
In 2025 the market price for 2507 (UNS S32750 / “super-duplex”) plate remains significantly higher than common austenitic grades, typically ranging from ~US$2.8–6.0 per kg (≈US$2,800–6,000 per tonne) depending on thickness, surface finish, certification, and
In 2025, 304 stainless steel woven and welded wire mesh remains an economically attractive, corrosion-resistant screening and filtration material. Prices vary widely by format (roll vs sheet), mesh count, wire diameter and finish — typical
We find that 3A21 aluminum bar remains a cost-effective, corrosion-resistant Al–Mn wrought alloy commonly used where formability and anti-rust behavior matter; in 2025 the raw-LME aluminum benchmark sits near $2,500–2,700 / tonne while finished 3A21
For buyers in 2025, 5A05 aluminum bar sits in a market priced roughly between USD $2,600 – $4,000 per tonne at merchant/FOB levels depending on region, order size, and form (extruded bar vs. forged /
In 2025, finished 5083 aluminum in bar/plate/sheet forms is trading at a significant premium over base LME primary aluminum; typical finished 5083 plate/bar prices by region fall roughly within USD $1,900–4,800 per metric ton depending
We find that 6063 aluminum — prized for its excellent surface finish, anodizing friendliness, and good formability — is actively used in thin-gauge foil and specialty foil applications; in 2025, aluminum-foil market dynamics (energy, LME/primary
5A05 (Al-Mg series) aluminum bar remains a cost-competitive, corrosion-resistant choice for marine and industrial applications in 2025. For standard extruded or forged bars in typical commercial volumes, factory FOB prices from Chinese mills generally fall
In 2025 the market for DX52D PPGL (prepainted galvalume / prepainted galvalume-coated low-carbon steel) coils shows wide price dispersion driven by substrate type (DX52D cold-rolled base), metal coating (Al-Zn vs Zn), paint system (PE /
