Type 304 stainless steel is the most versatile and one of the most widely applied of the 300 series stainless steels. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The carefully controlled analysis of Type 304 enables it to be deep drawn more severely than Types 301 and 302 without intermediate softening. This property has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless steel parts. It is readily brake brake or roll formed into a variety of other parts for application in the industrial, architectural and transportation fields.
Type 304 also has outstanding welding characterisitics. Post-weld annealing is not required to restore the excellent performance of this grade in a wide range of midly corrosive conditions.
