What is 304 stainless steel

In our previous company news that we introduced many features of 304 stainless steel so today I will introduce what is 304 stainless steel to you.

304 stainless steel is a common material in stainless steel, density of 7.93 g/cm³;Also known in the industry as 18/8 stainless steel, meaning contains more than 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel;High temperature resistance 800℃, has the characteristics of good processing performance, high toughness, widely used in industrial and furniture decoration industry and food and medical industry.But it should be noted that food grade 304 stainless steel compared with ordinary 304 stainless steel, its content index is more strict.For example: the international definition of 304 stainless steel is mainly chromium 18%-20% nickel 8%-10%, but food grade 304 stainless steel is chromium 18% and nickel 8%, allow a certain range of fluctuations, and limit the content of various heavy metals.In other words, 304 stainless steel is not necessarily food grade 304 stainless steel

304 is a kind of universal stainless steel, which is widely used in the production of equipment and parts requiring good comprehensive performance (corrosion resistance and molding).In order to maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel, the steel must contain at least 18% chromium and at least 8% nickel.304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced according to ASTM standards in the United States.
