Stainless steel 304 is an austenitic stainless steel with a high nickel concentration of 8 to 10.5 percent by weight and a high chromium content of 18 to 20% by weight. Because grade 304 stainless steel has a lower carbon content, it is less prone to chromium carbide precipitation during welding and to intergranular corrosion.



Cold processing 304 stainless strip results in increased hardness and strength. Type 304 stainless steel strip is particularly ductile in the annealed… Continue
