304 Stainless Sheets

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 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.
