Alro Steel is Now Stocking 304L Stainless Plate up to 6" thick
The addition of the new thicknesses will allow Alro to process
Stainless Bars or Plate Chunks
to further enhance our offering of stainless products.
304L is an extra low-carbon variation of 304 with a 0.03% maximum carbon content that eliminates carbide precipitation due to welding. As a result, this alloy can be used in the "as-welded" condition, even in severe corrosive conditions. It often eliminates the necessity of annealing weldments except for applications specifying stress relief. It has slightly lower mechanical properties than 304.
These steels exhibit excellent resistance to a wide range of atmospheric, chemical, textile, petroleum and food industry exposures.
304L may be considered for a wide variety of applications where one or more of the following properties are important:
- Resistance to corrosion
- Prevention of product contamination
- Resistance to oxidation
- Ease of fabrication
- Excellent formability
- Beauty of appearance
- Ease of cleaning
- High strength with low weight
- Good strength and toughness at cryogenic temperatures
- Ready availability of a wide range of product forms
Typical Applications:
Food and beverage, kitchen equipment, sanitary, transportation, ethanol production, architectural moldings and trim, cryogenic, textile, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical and chemical industry processing equipment.
