Steel is an alloy – that is, a metal made from blending so-called alloying elements into a base metal – and it provides a quite literal backbone for modern industry. Steel is composed of primarily carbon and iron, with other trace elements that can give steels unique properties from each other. One class of steels is known as the stainless steels, which utilizes chromium to reduce the usual corrosion experienced by most iron-based materials. This article will explore the most common stainless steel, 304 steel, and will investigate its physical, mechanical, and working properties. Designers will gain a better understanding of what this material is, how it works, and where 304 steel is applied in industry so that they can potentially select this material for use in their own projects.
Type 304 steel is part of the 3xx stainless steels or those alloys which are blended with chromium and nickel. Below is a chemical breakdown of 304 steel:
<=0.08% carbon
18-20% chromium
66.345-74% iron
<= 2% manganese
8-10.5% nickel
<=0.045% phosphorus
<=0.03% sulfur
<=1% silicon
Applications of 304 Steel
304 steel is often referred to as “food-grade” stainless steel, as it is unreactive with most organic acids and is used in the food processing industry. Its excellent weldability, machinability, and workability suits these stainless steels to applications that require a level of corrosion resistance as well as complexity. As a result, 304 has found many uses, such as:
