We offer These Stainless Steel 304 Sheets and Plates per DIN, ISO, JIS or ANSI Standard.
Stainless Steel 304 Sheets and Plates find widespread industrial use across various sectors due to their exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and versatility. Common applications include chemical processing, utilized in reactors, storage tanks, and piping systems exposed to corrosive chemicals. In the pharmaceutical industry, 304 Sheets and Plates are employed for fabricating equipment such as pharmaceutical vessels and process tanks, ensuring product purity and compliance with regulatory standards.
Yes, stainless steel 304 sheets and plates are suitable for hygienic and sanitary applications due to their smooth surface, resistance to corrosion, and ease of cleaning. They are commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount.
Yes, stainless steel 304 sheets and plates can be welded using common welding techniques such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding. Proper preparation and selection of welding parameters are essential to ensure strong and durable welds.
Stainless steel 304 sheets and plates can be used for underground applications with proper consideration of environmental factors. Its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for underground use, but exposure to certain chemicals and soil conditions may require additional protective measures such as coatings or cathodic protection.
Stainless steel 304 sheets and plates are generally not recommended for cryogenic applications due to their reduced toughness and ductility at low temperatures. Alternate stainless steel grades with better cryogenic properties, such as 304L or 316L, are preferred for cryogenic environments.
