ASTM A240 304 Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Sheet 1.0mm × 1000mm × 2000mm With No.1

This product is supplied in a 1.0mm thickness, 1000mm width, and 2000mm length, with a No.1 hot rolled finish. The matte and relatively rough surface makes it particularly suitable for industrial fabrication, equipment manufacturing, and applications where surface appearance is less important than material performance.

As a versatile 304 hot rolled stainless steel plate, this material can be used for general engineering, machinery, food-processing equipment, storage equipment, chemical-processing applications, and other fabrication projects.

For customers requiring non-standard dimensions, we also provide custom 304 stainless steel plate solutions, including customized thicknesses, widths, lengths, and cut-to-size requirements.

304 stainless steel contains chromium and nickel, which form a passive protective layer on the material surface and provide good resistance to atmospheric corrosion, moisture, oxidation, and many common industrial environments.

This makes the product a reliable corrosion resistant 304 steel sheet for general-purpose applications where resistance to corrosion and long-term service performance are required.

For highly corrosive environments containing significant chloride exposure or aggressive chemicals, grades such as 316L or duplex stainless steel may be more suitable.

304 stainless steel provides a balanced combination of strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and weldability.

As an industrial grade 304 steel plate, it is suitable for manufacturing and fabrication applications where reliable material performance is required.

Typical industrial uses include:

• Industrial equipment
• Process equipment
• Storage tanks
• Machinery components
• Food-processing equipment
• Chemical-processing equipment
• Metal fabrication
• General engineering

The material is produced through a hot rolling process, followed by appropriate heat treatment and descaling to achieve the No.1 surface condition.

Compared with cold rolled stainless steel, hot rolled material generally has a rougher and more matte surface. It is commonly selected for applications where mechanical performance, corrosion resistance, fabrication capability, and cost are more important than a highly decorative surface.

The 304 hot rolled stainless steel plate can also be further processed through cutting, welding, forming, grinding, or other fabrication operations according to the application.

The No.1 finish is a typical surface finish for hot rolled stainless steel.

It generally features:

• Matte appearance
• Non-reflective surface
• Relatively rough texture
• Good suitability for industrial applications
• Suitable for further surface processing

If a smoother or more decorative appearance is required, additional finishing processes such as grinding, brushing, polishing, or other surface treatments can be considered.

The corrosion resistant 304 steel sheet offers reliable performance in many atmospheric, commercial, food-processing, and general industrial environments.

The industrial grade 304 steel plate provides a good balance of strength, corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication performance.

Standard and customized sizes are available for different engineering and fabrication requirements.

304 stainless steel can be welded using commonly used stainless steel welding processes with appropriate procedures.

The material can be cut, formed, welded, drilled, and machined using suitable equipment and processing methods.

Products can be supplied according to ASTM A240 requirements, with inspection documentation and material certificates available according to customer requirements.

The combination of corrosion resistance, strength, weldability, and fabrication performance makes this stainless steel suitable for a wide range of applications.

Quality control can cover:

• Chemical composition analysis
• Tensile testing
• Yield strength testing
• Elongation testing
• Hardness testing
• Thickness inspection
• Width and length measurement
• Surface inspection
• PMI testing
• Flatness inspection
• Material traceability

For export projects, Mill Test Certificates (MTC) and EN 10204 3.1 certificates can be supplied when required.
