Stainless Steel Plate and Coil – Type 304L is a versatile and widely used material for various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature strength, and durability. Its low carbon content and chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel alloy composition provide a high level of resistance to corrosion in oxidizing and reducing environments, making it suitable for harsh environments. The addition of nickel enhances its corrosion resistance and formability.

This alloy is widely used in:

– Chemical processing equipment and tanks
– Food processing equipment and utensils
– Marine environments for propeller shafts, exhaust systems, and hardware
– Medical equipment and devices
– Welded construction and assembly
