Stainless steel 304 is a commonly used stainless steel material, which belongs to austenitic stainless steel. Stainless steel 304 contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, and a certain amount of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and other elements, and has excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, strength and plasticity.
Stainless steel 304 is often used in the manufacture of kitchen utensils, furniture, electrical appliances, architectural decoration, medical equipment and other fields. Stainless steel 304 has good machinability and weldability, and is easy to process into products of various shapes and sizes. In addition, stainless steel 304 also has good corrosion resistance and heat resistance, and is suitable for use in a certain range of high temperature and corrosive environments.
Stainless steel 304 has some variants in chemical composition and performance, such as stainless steel 304L, stainless steel 304H, stainless steel 304LN, etc. The difference between them is mainly in carbon content, composition and use.
