304 Stainless Steel Half-Round

Chemical Composition

Carbon: 0.08% (Max)
Manganese: 2.00% (Max)
Silicon: 0.75% (Max)
Phosphorous: 0.045% (Max)
Sulfur: 0.030% (Max)
Chromium: 18%-20%
Nickel: 8%-10.5%

For applications requiring even lower carbon content, 304L stainless steel features carbon content up to 0.03% lower than standard 304 grade steel.

304 Stainless Steel Half-Round Bar Stock

304 half-round bars are a very low carbon, austenitic chromium-nickel steel with high malleability plus good corrosion resistance and superior resistance to intergranular corrosion following welding or stress relieving. The low carbon content in 304 stainless steel limits the formation of harmful carbides to such an extent that this grade may be safely used for most operations of welded construction, as well as where the service temperature is limited to 800 degrees F.
As noted above 304 Stainless Steel is austenitic so it is not magnetic in the annealed condition and not hardenable by heat treatment.

Properties
