Stainless Steel Plate and Coil – Type 304

Steel Plate and Coil – Type 304 is a popular and widely used material for various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature strength, and durability. Its chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel alloy composition provides 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:

– Food processing equipment and utensils
– Chemical processing equipment and tanks
– Architectural hardware and decorative fixtures
– Marine environments for propeller shafts, exhaust systems, and hardware
– Medical equipment and devices
