304 stainelss steel General Properties
Alloy 304L a T300 series stainless steel austenitic, which has a minimum of 18%
chromium and 8% nickel. Type 304L has a carbon maximum is 0.030. It is the standard
“18/8 stainless” that is commonly found in pans and cooking tools. Alloys 304L is the
most versatile andwidely used alloy in the stainless steel family. Ideal for a wide variety
of home and commercial applications, Alloys 304L exhibits excellent corrosion resistance
and has a high ease of fabrication, outstanding formability. The austenitic stainless steels
are also considered to be the most weldable of the highalloy steels and can be welded
by all fusion and resistance welding processes.
Specifications: UNS S30403
