• Excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance

• Superior formability and weldability

• Non-magnetic in annealed condition

• Clean surface finish for hygienic applications

• Fully compliant with international material standards

Standards and Grade Equivalents

This equivalence ensures that the 304 stainless steel plate can be used seamlessly in multinational projects without concerns over material substitution or compliance.

Chemical Composition (Typical Values)

The balanced chemical composition of 304 stainless steel provides its renowned corrosion resistance and mechanical stability.

Mechanical Properties

304 stainless steel plate offers a reliable combination of strength and ductility, making it suitable for both structural and forming applications.

These properties are verified and documented in the EN 10204-3.1 certificate, ensuring consistency and quality control.

2m Width Advantage

The 2-meter width stainless steel plate provides several practical and economic benefits:

• Fewer welded joints for large tanks, panels, and enclosures

• Improved material utilization and reduced scrap

• Faster fabrication and lower labor costs

• Better surface continuity for architectural and decorative uses

This makes it particularly suitable for industries requiring large flat surfaces or pressure-retaining structures.

Surface Finishes Available

304 stainless steel plates can be supplied in multiple surface finishes to match functional and aesthetic requirements:

• 2B Finish – Smooth, cold-rolled, widely used in industrial equipment

• BA Finish – Bright annealed, mirror-like appearance

• No.1 Finish – Hot-rolled, pickled surface

• No.4 Finish – Brushed surface for architectural use

• HL (Hairline) – Decorative linear finish

Custom finishes are available upon request.

Applications of 304 Stainless Steel Plate

Thanks to its versatility, corrosion resistance, and hygiene properties, the 304 stainless steel plate is used in a wide range of industries:

Corrosion Resistance Performance

304 stainless steel plate demonstrates excellent resistance to:

• Atmospheric corrosion

• Fresh water and steam

• Mild acids and alkalis

• Food acids and cleaning chemicals

While it is not recommended for high-chloride or marine splash-zone environments, it performs exceptionally well in most indoor and moderately corrosive conditions.

Fabrication and Welding

The SUS304 / 1.4301 stainless steel plate is easy to fabricate using standard workshop techniques:

• Suitable for cutting, bending, rolling, and deep drawing

• Compatible with TIG, MIG, laser, and plasma welding

• No pre-heating required

• Post-weld cleaning recommended for corrosion resistance

This ease of processing reduces production time and overall project cost.
