304 stainless steel plate features and usage

304 stainless steel plate is a common stainless steel material produced in accordance with the American ASTM standard. 304 steel density is 7.93 g/cm3, also known as 18/8 stainless steel. Its high temperature resistance limit is 800 deg c. With good processing performance, high toughness characteristics, 304 stainless steel plate is widely used in industrial and furniture decoration industry and food and medical industry.

Common marking methods for 304 stainless steel plate on the market are 06Cr19Ni10, SUS304, in which 06Cr19Ni10 generally means GBT standard production, 304 generally means ASTM standard production, SUS 304 means JIS standard production.

304 stainless steel plate is a versatile stainless steel, which is widely used in the manufacture of equipment and machinery requiring good comprehensive performance (corrosion resistance and formability). In order to maintain the inherent corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel plate, the steel must contain more than 18% chromium, more than 8% nickel content.
