Stainless Steel 304 Features and Applications

Stainless steel sheet 304 is a commonly used stainless steel alloy composed of 18% chromium, 8% nickel, and small amounts of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and other elements. Its chemical composition gives it excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, good workability, forgeability, and deep drawability, making it widely used in various industries.

Stainless steel sheet 304 exhibits good corrosion resistance, able to withstand corrosive media, including strong acids, alkalis, and saltwater. It also has good high-temperature resistance, maintaining its mechanical and oxidation resistance properties at elevated temperatures. Additionally, stainless steel sheet 304 has good workability and can be processed through welding, forging, rolling, deep drawing, and other methods to create complex-shaped parts and products.

Stainless steel sheet 304 finds widespread applications in various fields, including food processing, medical devices, chemical industry, construction, automotive, and aerospace:

1. In the food and medical device manufacturing, stainless steel 304 is widely used for its non-toxicity, lead-free nature, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning, making it suitable for producing various containers, pipes, instruments, etc.

2. In the chemical industry, stainless steel 304 is commonly used for making pipes, tanks, containers, and other chemical equipment.

3. In the construction industry, stainless steel 304 is employed for fabricating various decorative items, sinks, handrails, doors, and windows.

4. In the automotive and aerospace industries, stainless steel 304 is utilized for its lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance, making it suitable for manufacturing vehicle bodies, engine components, exhaust systems, and more.

Stainless Steel 200 / 300 / 400 Series Characteristics

Stainless steel sheet is typically composed of iron, carbon, chromium, nickel, cobalt, and other alloying elements. Stainless steel can be divided into three series: 200 series, 300 series, and 400 series, which differ in the type and proportion of alloying elements.

200 Series: Primarily containing nickel and manganese but no chromium, they have poorer corrosion resistance but good ductility and formability, making them easy to process and shape. Products made from 200 series stainless steel include kitchen utensils, furniture, pipes, and building structures.

300 Series: Primarily containing chromium and nickel but no molybdenum, they have excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, making them particularly suitable for use in industries such as chemical, petroleum, and food processing. The most common of these is 304 stainless steel, which has a wide range of applications including kitchen utensils, food processing equipment, medical devices, building exterior decoration, and more.

400 Series: Primarily containing chromium and molybdenum but no nickel, they have poorer corrosion resistance but good heat and wear resistance, making them particularly suitable for use in industries such as mechanical and automotive manufacturing. The most common of these is 430 stainless steel, which is used to make components such as cutting tools, screws, bearings, and automotive parts, as well as building and decorative materials.

Stainless Steel Surface Finish

NO.1 Surface: Hot-rolled, annealed, and pickled surface with a rough texture, suitable for industrial applications that require heat and corrosion resistance.

2B Surface: Cold-rolled, annealed, and pickled surface with a matte finish, processed to make the surface smooth, and easily polished for a brighter appearance.

BA Surface (Bright Annealed): Cold-rolled, annealed, and bright annealed surface with excellent glossiness and high reflectivity.

NO.4 Surface: Also known as a brushed finish, this surface is achieved by using a 150-180 grit abrasive, resulting in a continuous and unidirectional pattern of fine lines.

HL Surface (Hair Line): Hairline finish, achieved by using an appropriate grit size of abrasive to create continuous linear patterns that resemble hairlines.

NO.8 Surface (Mirror): Mirror-like finish achieved by cold-rolling and then polishing to a high shine.

Checkered Plate: Stainless steel plate with a balanced three-dimensional pattern used for anti-slip purposes.
