304 stainless steel sheet is one of the most widely used stainless steel materials worldwide, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and versatility. As a member of the austenitic stainless steel family, it offers a balanced combination of strength, formability, and aesthetic appeal.
GengFei Steel supplies high-quality 304 stainless steel sheets to global customers, providing stable quality, customized specifications, and reliable export services for a wide range of industries.
What Is 304 Stainless Steel Sheet?
304 stainless steel sheet is composed primarily of chromium and nickel, which provide strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It is commonly referred to as “18/8 stainless steel” due to its typical composition of approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel.
This grade is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and can be easily fabricated through cutting, bending, and welding processes, making it suitable for both structural and decorative applications.
Chemical Composition of 304 Stainless Steel
| Element | Typical Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Chromium (Cr) | 18.0 – 20.0 |
| Nickel (Ni) | 8.0 – 10.5 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.08 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 2.0 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 1.0 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.045 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.03 |
This composition ensures excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical performance.
Mechanical Properties
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 520 MPa |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 205 MPa |
| Elongation | ≥ 40% |
| Hardness | ≤ 90 HRB |
| Density | 8.0 g/cm³ |
These properties make 304 stainless steel sheet suitable for a wide variety of applications.
