304 Stainless Steel Sheet

304 stainless steel is a common material in stainless steel, with a density
of 7.93 g/cm³; it is also called 18/8 stainless steel in the industry, which
means it contains more than 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel; it can
withstand high temperature of 800°C and has good processing performance ,
high toughness characteristics, widely used in industry and furniture
decoration industry and food medical industry. However, it should be noted
that food-grade 304 stainless steel has stricter content indicators than
ordinary 304 stainless sheet metal. For example: the international
definition of 304 stainless steel is that it mainly contains 18%-20%
chromium and 8%-10% nickel, but food-grade 304 stainless steel contains 18%
chromium and 8% nickel, which allows fluctuations within a certain range,
and Limit the content of various heavy metals. In other words, 304 stainless
steel is not necessarily food grade 2mm 304 stainless steel sheet.

Specification Of 304 Stainless Steel Sheet
Features Of 304 Stainless Steel Sheet
1. Good corrosion resistance: 304 has excellent corrosion resistance and can
withstand various strong acids, strong alkalis, salts and other chemical
substances, so it is widely used in food processing, chemical industry,
aviation, construction and other fields.

2. High strength: 304 has good strength and toughness, and can still
maintain stable mechanical properties at high temperatures.

3. Easy to process:12 gauge 304 stainless steel, 14 gauge 304 stainless
steel sheet and 18 ga 304 stainless steel is easy to process and can be
processed into various shapes by riveting, welding, cutting, stamping,
bending, etc., and is suitable for various manufacturing and processing
techniques

4. Good toughness:Good impact toughness and ductility, which can reduce the
risk of damage due to collision.

5. Material properties: 304 stainless steel belongs to austenitic stainless
steel, which has high temperature strength and good deformation processing
performance. It is commonly used to make kitchen utensils, chemical
equipment and medical instruments.

6. Chemical composition:The chemical composition of 304 stainless steel is
Cr18N9, the chromium content is 18%, and the ballast is 9%. It has excellent
corrosion resistance and gasification resistance, and it is not easy to rust
even in high temperature and strong alkali environment corrosion.

7. Mechanical strength: 304 stainless steel has high mechanical strength,
and its hardness is around HB180. At high temperature, its strength remains
unchanged, showing good heat resistance.

What Are 304 Stainless Steel Sheet Surface Finish?
1. 2B Finish: This finish is the most commonly used and is characterized by
a smooth, reflective surface.

2. BA Finish: This is a mirror-like finish that provides high reflectivity.

3. No.4 Finish: This finish has a brushed appearance and provides a duller,
less reflective surface.

4. Hairline Finish: This finish is characterized by a long, narrow line
pattern and provides a subtle, decorative effect.

5. Embossed Finish: This finish has a textured surface with raised patterns
that create a decorative effect.

6. Etched Finish: This finish has a patterned surface created by acid
etching, providing a decorative finish.
