Full Hard Stainless Steel 304

These alloys may be considered for a wide variety of applications where one or more of the following properties are important.

Full hard stainless steel 304.

Austenitic cr ni stainless steel. Like type 302 type 304 finds its larger demand in the soft tempers. Stainless steel 301 302 304 full hard type 301 full hard is an austenitic stainless steel with a composition of 17 chromium and 7 nickel. Its work hardening rate is extremely high with each increase in the amount of cold work the tensile strength and yield strength will increase significantly.

304 stainless steel uns s30400. Also for bellows flexible metal hose spinning tubing and numerous other stainless applications. Its resistance to atmosphere corrosion and its bright surface finish make it an excellent choice for decorative structural applications. We specialize in 300 series 17 7 heat treat tool wrap and c1008 c1010 alloys provided in coil and sheet form.

Stainless steel 304 is an austenitic grade of stainless steel that contains high nickel content typically somewhere between 8 and 10 5 percent by weight and a high amount of chromium that comprises approximately 18 to 20 percent by weight. It is also known as 18 8 stainless steel because of its composition which includes 18 chromium and 8 nickel. It is less electrically and thermally conductive than carbon steel and is essentially non magnetic. Kitchen equipment automotive components wheel covers conveyor.

Here are the physical and chemical properties of the 301 302 and 304 stainless steel that we regularly stock including the free bend requirements for each alloy. 301 physical properties uns designation s30100. T 300 series stainless steel. Aisi 301 stainless steel uns s30100 aisi 301 stainless steel uns s30100 is the most susceptible to cold deformation strengthening among conventional austenitic stainless steels.

Annealed 304 stainless steel is used extensively in the chemical refrigeration paper and food processing industries. Types 302 304 304l and 305 stainless steels are variations of the 18 percent chromium 8 percent nickel austenitic alloy the most familiar and most frequently used alloy in the stainless steel family. Sae 304 stainless steel is the most common stainless steel. It is an austenitic stainless steel.

Better corrosion resistance than type 302.
