304 plate S30400 sheet a high amount of chromium
The alloy has excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion in the as-welded condition.
304 Stainless steel plate refers to steel plates resistant to corrosion by weak media such as atmosphere, steam and water, while acid-resistant steel plates refer to steel plates resistant to corrosion by chemically aggressive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts. Because SS 304 plate contains 18% chromium (Cr) and 8% nickel (Ni), it is also called 18/8 stainless steel. The 1.4301 stainless steel plate has good processability, weldability, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties, good hot workability, such as stamping and bending, without heat treatment hardening.
AISI 304 stainless steel is the most commonly used material in stainless steel, reference standard ASTM A240, ASME SA240. This standard applies to the specification of chromium and chromium-nickel stainless steel plate, sheet, and strip for pressure vessels and general purposes. ASTM A240 UNS S30400 is widely used in construction, vehicles, kitchen utensils, chemical industry, medical treatment and other fields. It plays an important role in our daily life and production fields.
