Introduction
Type 304 Stainless Steel Properties
Both 304 and 316 stainless steels (as well as other 300-series grades) use nickel to maintain an austenitic composition at lower temperatures. Austenitic steels ensure a versatile balance of strength, workability, and corrosion resistance. Some of the positive qualities of 304 stainless steel include:
- Exemplifies the corrosion resistance and aesthetic attraction that stainless steel is known for
- Extremely easy to clean and maintain
- Easier to weld than many other types of stainless steel
- Even more resistant to heat than other stainless steel types
- Attractive and classy appearance
- Properly cared for and cleaned stainless steel presents a low maintenance cost
