304 Stainless Steel sheet has the following notable characteristics:
1.Excellent corrosion resistance
304 Stainless Steel sheet contains about 18% chromium and about 8% nickel, which gives it good corrosion resistance. The chromium element forms a dense passivation film on the surface of steel, which can effectively prevent oxygen, water and other media from chemically reacting with the steel matrix, preventing rust and corrosion.
2. Good mechanical properties
Its tensile strength is not less than 520N/mm², its yield strength is not less than 205N/mm², and its elongation is not less than 40%. This means that 304 Stainless Steel sheet has both high strength and the ability to withstand large external forces, and good plasticity and toughness. When subjected to external forces, it is not prone to brittle fracture, but can absorb energy through plastic deformation, adapting to different usage scenarios and stress conditions.
3. Excellent processing performance
304 Stainless Steel sheet is easy to be processed by various plastic processes at room temperature, such as bending, stamping, stretching, etc. It can be processed into products of various shapes and sizes to meet the diverse needs of different industries. At the same time, its welding performance is also very good. Through appropriate welding technology, different stainless steel sheets can be connected together to form a solid structure, and the performance of the welded joint is good, which can maintain corrosion resistance and mechanical properties similar to the parent material.
4. Good heat resistance
304 Stainless Steel sheet can be used in the temperature range of -196°C to 800°C. In high temperature environment, it has good oxidation resistance and strength, can resist high temperature oxidation and thermal deformation, and is not easy to cause performance degradation due to temperature changes. Therefore, it can be used in some occasions that need to withstand a certain temperature, such as industrial furnaces, heat exchangers, etc.
5. Beautiful surface quality
304 Stainless Steel sheet has a smooth surface and metallic luster. After different surface treatment processes, such as polishing and brushing, various surface effects can be obtained, such as mirror finish, matte finish, brushed texture, etc., making it have good decorative properties and widely used in architectural decoration, household goods and other fields, which can not only meet functional requirements but also improve aesthetics.
