304 stainless steel plate
About 304 stainless steel plate information
304 stainless steel plate is ideal for most fabrication processes and for both indoor and outdoor applications. It features a dark gray textured surface with sharp, crisp edges and precise dimensions. A high-strength material with excellent corrosion resistance, 304 stainless steel is ideal for aerospace structures, pressure vessels, base plates, gussets, structural supports, and applications in the food and beverage industry. ASTM A240 is the standard specification for chromium and chromium-nickel stainless steel plate, sheet, and strip for pressure vessels and general applications.
What are the specifications for 304 stainless steel plate?
First, 304 stainless steel plate has a maximum carbon content of 0.08%. Additionally, 304 stainless steel plate contains a maximum of 2.0% manganese and 0.75% silicon. Furthermore, 304 stainless steel plate contains no more than 0.045% phosphorus, no more than 0.03% sulfur, and 18.0% to 20% chromium.
