    304 Stainless Steel

    304, 304L stainless steel stockholders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the UK. This grade is a
    chromium nickel austenitic stainless which is suitable for use in corrosive conditions. A very popular 18/8 grade
    of stainless widely used in many industry sectors. The 304L grade has a reduced carbon content to improve
    corrosion resistance after welding.

    Corrosion Resistance

    304 stainless steel grade offers excellent corrosion resistance in most environments. It offers moderate resistance
    to pitting and crevice corrosion. In more corrosive environments, such as chemical or marine, a higher quality
    stainless grade such as 316 may be better suited.

    Welding

    Stainless steel 304 is readily weldeable with most welding procedures. With its lower carbon content 304L stainless
    is preferred to standard 304 as it can be welded without loss of corrosion resistance due to intergranular carbide
    precipitation. Post weld annealing is not normally required, except for service in more extreme conditions. We
    recommend you contact your welding consumables supplier who should provide you full assistance and information
    on welding stainless steel.

    Forging

    Heat the 304 slowly and uniformly throughout the section to 1150-1250°C. Re heat as necessary and avoid
    working below 900°C. Cool in air. Forgings will require annealing in order to obtain optimum corrosion resistance.

    Scaling Temperature

    The oxidation resistance of a stainless steel grade is traditionally termed as the scaling temperature. This is the
    temperature at which the oxidation rate of the steel becomes unacceptably high. The safe scaling temperature for
    continuous service of 304 is 875°C. In an oxidising and reducing sulphurous atmosphere the scaling temperature
    is lowered.
