Stainless Steel Structurals
304-304L

Description

The most widely used of the austenitic grades, T-304 offers good corrosion resistance to many chemicals and industrial atmospheres. Generally considered non- magnetic, it can become slightly magnetic when cold-worked. T-304 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
