304 / 304L SHEET
CHARACTERISTICS
304 / 304L stainless steel sheet is used to manufacture stamped and machined parts for parts and products in corrosive and high heat applications. The stainless steel exhibits high corrosion resistance, high strength and temperature resistance. It can be become slightly magnetic when cold worked. It is easy to machine, stamp and weld. Types 304 / 304L are the most versatile and most used of all the stainless steel grades. They are cost-effective and perform well in demanding environments.
APPLICATIONS
304 / 304L stainless sheet is used for stamped and machined parts and components for processing equipment for the foodservice, medical device, chemical, petrochemical, marine and power transmission industries.
