Stainless Steel Bars
T304-304L
Description

The most widely used of the austenitic grades, T304 offers good corrosion resistance to many chemicals and industrial atmospheres. Generally considered non-magnetic, it can become slightly magnetic when cold-worked. T304 is non-hardenable by heat treatment.

In 304L, the carbon content has been lowered to .03% max. for corrosion resistance at heat affected zones from welding.

Typical Applications
  • Architectural trim
  • Beer barrels
  • Cryogenic vessels
  • Dairy equipment
  • Wide variety of food applications
