What is 304 SS sheet?

stainless steel 304 plate is an authenticate stainless steel containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This is the most commonly used grade of stainless steel in the world. These sheets are strong and resistant to mild corrosion and can be used in a wide range of applications. Manganese, carbon, silicon, sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus are also contained in the 304L stainless steel plate. When choosing materials for your products, manufacturing process, weight, strength, cost, and corrosion resistance are usually the first things that come to mind. That's what made stainless steel such a valuable metal in the last century. Stainless steel is the ideal choice among other materials at reasonable prices. Alloy 304 is one of the best materials to consider for a specific purpose.

What are the applications of stainless steel 304 plate?

1. Household items and fixtures are the two most common uses of stainless steel plates.

2. Food, textiles, chemicals, transportation and aerospace are being developed to use these materials because of the high electrical resistance.

3. SS 304 plates are used for water tanks, evaporator coils, mechanical parts, screws, vehicles, water filters, food processing equipment, aircraft, rockets, construction, dyeing equipment, chemical containers and heat ex-changers.

4. In maritime applications, 304 stainless steel is also used for screws, nuts, bolts and other types of fasteners.

5. Food is a major source of corrosion due to the high acid content in foods such as fruit and meat.

6. Popular materials for desktops, sinks, refrigerators, coffee makers, microwave ovens and liquid dispensers are often made of stainless steel.

7. POTS, pans and silverware have a long span in all the most common applications of 304 stainless steel.

8. As a result, 304 stainless steel can be stamped and deep drawn for a range of applications, including POTS, cooking pans and other empty vessels.

What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel sheets?

1. The main difference between 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel is that 316 stainless steel has better corrosion resistance, so it is used for more outdoor applications, such as outdoor electrical enclosures. Stainless 316 can also be used in Marine applications, such as nuts and bolts that will be used in or near water for extended periods of time.

2. The composition of 304 and 316 stainless steel sheets is also different. 304 stainless steel consists of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, while 316 contains 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. It is the added molybdenum that provides excellent corrosion resistance to 316 stainless steel.

The high quality and durability of 304 stainless steel sheets ensure that your products are durable and designed for home and commercial use. If you are looking for a supplier of high quality stainless steel plate at a reasonable price, the Shandong Hongqi Material Co., Ltd. is a very good choice.
