Knowledge And Application Of 304 Stainless Steel Plate/Sheet

What is 304 grade for stainless steel?

Type 304 stainless steel is a T 300 Series Stainless Steel austenitic. It has a minimum of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, combined with a maximum of 0.08% carbon. It is defined as a Chromium-Nickel austenitic alloy. Grade 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless that you will probably see in your pans and cookery tools.

The Application Of 304 Stainless Steel Plate And Other Grade Of Stainless Steel

316 stainless steel plate: 316 stainless steel plate contains molybdenum and low carbon content, and its resistance to pitting corrosion in marine and chemical industry environments is much better than that of 304 stainless steel! (316L low-carbon, 316N nitrogen-containing high-strength, 316 stainless steel plate with high sulfur content, easy to cut stainless steel).

304L stainless steel plate: As a low-carbon 304 steel, in general, its corrosion resistance is similar to that of 316L, but after welding or stress relief, its resistance to intergranular corrosion is excellent, and it can also be used without heat treatment. Maintain good corrosion resistance.

316 stainless steel plate: It has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties, good hot workability such as stamping and bending, and no heat treatment hardening phenomenon. Uses: tableware, cabinets, boilers, auto parts, medical appliances, building materials, food industry (operating temperature -196°C-700°C).

310 stainless steel plate: the main features are: high temperature resistance, generally used in boilers, automobile exhaust pipes. Other properties are general.

310S stainless steel plate: It is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel with good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. Because of the higher percentage of chromium and nickel, 310S has much better creep strength and can continue to work at high temperatures. Good high temperature resistance.

303 stainless steel plate: by adding a small amount of sulfur and phosphorus, it is easier to cut than 304, and its other properties are similar to 304.

302 stainless steel plate: 302 stainless steel plate is widely used in auto parts, aviation, aerospace hardware tools, chemical industry. The details are as follows: handicrafts, bearings, sliding flowers, medical instruments, electrical appliances, etc.

301 stainless steel plate: good ductility, used for forming products. It can also be hardened by mechanical processing. Good weldability. Wear resistance and fatigue strength are better than 304 stainless steel.

202 stainless steel plate: It belongs to chromium-nickel-manganese austenitic stainless steel, and its performance is better than 201 stainless steel.

201 stainless steel plate: It belongs to chromium-nickel-manganese austenitic stainless steel with relatively low magnetic properties.

410 stainless steel plate: It belongs to martensite (high-strength chromium steel), has good wear resistance and poor corrosion resistance.

420 stainless steel plate: "cutting tool grade" martensitic steel, similar to the earliest stainless steel of Brinell high chromium steel. It is also used for surgical knives and can be made very shiny.

317 stainless steel plate: the pitting resistance is better than 316 steel. Used for printing and dyeing equipment materials.

430 stainless steel plate: ferritic stainless steel, for decoration, such as for car accessories. Good formability, but poor temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.

302 stainless steel plate belongs to austenitic steel, which is close to 304, but the hardness of 302 is higher, HRC≤28, and has good anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties.
