Detailed Description
Physical Properties and Chemical Composition
Stainless Steel 304 is an austenitic stainless steel known for its balance of strength and corrosion resistance. The alloy’s composition includes:
- Chromium: 18%
- Nickel: 8%
- Iron: Balance
These elements give the material its notable properties:
- Corrosion Resistance: The high chromium content forms a passive layer of chromium oxide, preventing further surface corrosion and providing resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical attack.
- Strength and Durability: Stainless Steel 304 offers excellent tensile strength, making it durable and capable of withstanding high pressures and extreme temperatures.
