Its metal products are resistant to high temperatures and have good processing properties, so they are widely used in the industrial and furniture decoration industry and the food and medical industry.

  

304 is a versatile stainless steel that is widely used to make equipment and parts that require good overall performance (corrosion resistance and formability). In order to maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 17% chromium and more than 8% nickel. 304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced in accordance with American ASTM standards.

 

 304 stainless steel is the most widely used chromium-nickel stainless steel. It is widely used as a steel with good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties. It has good hot workability such as stamping and bending, and no heat treatment. Hardening phenomenon (non-magnetic, use temperature -196 ° C ~ 800 ° C). Corrosion resistant in the atmosphere, if it is an industrial atmosphere or heavily polluted areas, it needs to be cleaned in time to avoid corrosion. 304 stainless steel is suitable for the processing, storage and transportation of food; it has good processing properties and weldability; it is widely used in the manufacture of household products, medical appliances and other products. 304 stainless steel is a nationally recognized food grade stainless steel.
