Precision 304L Stainless Steel Sheet

304L (UNS S30908) is an austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel with lower carbon content than standard Grade 309, minimizing carbide precipitation during welding and high-temperature service. It provides continuous oxidation resistance up to 1000°C in mild cyclic conditions and maintains high strength in elevated-temperature environments. Supplied in hot-rolled or cold-rolled conditions-with extensive standard thicknesses available in stock for immediate dispatch-this grade is widely utilized in industrial furnaces, heat-treatment fixtures, and petrochemical processing equipment.

 

 

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance: Retards scaling and surface degradation up to 1000°C in continuous operation.

 

Welding Integrity: Low carbon chemistry (<= 0.08%) prevents chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries during welding, reducing susceptibility to intergranular corrosion.

 

Elevated Temperature Strength: Retains mechanical load-bearing capacity and creep resistance in thermal processing environments.

 

Fabrication Adaptability: Standard formability and weldability using conventional industrial arc and resistance welding methods.
