304 Stainless Steel Sheet
304 Stainless Steel Sheet is a flat sheet of 304 Stainless Steel. 304 has excellent mechanical properties, resistance to many corrosive agents. 304 Stainless Steel is useful where sanitation and cleanliness are important. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition.
304 Stainless Steel Sheet is the most popular and economical of the stainless steels. 304 Stainless Sheet offers good corrosion resistance to many chemical corrosives as well as industrial atmospheres and marine environments. 304 Stainless Sheet may become slightly magnetic when worked and is not heat treatable.

304 has excellent corrosion resistance in many environments and when in contact with different corrosive media. Pitting and crevice corrosion can occur in environments containing chlorides. Stress corrosion cracking can occur above 60°C.
304 has good resistance to oxidation in intermittent service up to 870°C and in continuous service to 925°C. However, continuous use at 425-860°C is not recommended if corrosion resistance in water is required. In this instance, 304L is recommended due to its resistance to carbide precipitation.
Where high strength is required at temperatures above 500°C and up to 800°C, grade 304H is recommended. This material will retain aqueous corrosion resistance
