Stainless Steel Sheet 304

Stainless Steel Sheet 304 is a flat sheet of 304 Stainless Steel. 304 has excellent mechanical properties, resistance to many corrosive agents. 304 Stainless Steel is useful where sanitation and cleanliness are important. It is non magnetic in the annealed condition. Hardness and tensile strength can be increased by cold working, but modified by lowered carbon content providing good resistance to corrosion in welded construction where subsequent heat treatment is not practical. Grade 304L (L= low carbon) is the same as the above except it has an extra-low-carbon analysis. The advantage of this is that it precludes any harmful precipitation in the 800º F to 1500º F range, which might otherwise occur in welding heavier sections.
