304 Stainless Steel Sheet

Extremely versatile stainless steel alloy.

304 stainless steel represents one of the most versatile stainless steel alloys currently available.

We stock 304 stainless steel sheets which are highly versatile and provide excellent welding and forming characteristics.

304 is an austenitic stainless steel containing 18% chrome and 8% nickel, and represents one of the most frequently used alloys in the stainless steel family. 304 stainless steel sheet offers excellent weldability and forming properties (if welding, use 304L). The material also provides reasonable machinability and very good drawability. The alloy's combination of low yield strength and high elongation allows for complex parts to be formed, although the material will harden quickly. The alloy can be severely deep drawn and, for this reason, is the alloy of choice in applications such as saucepans and sinks.
