Material Data

304 Stainless Steel

General-purpose austenitic stainless steel for architectural hardware, light industrial parts, food-related equipment, and indoor corrosion environments.

Material Overview

304 Stainless Steel for industrial product selection

General-purpose austenitic stainless steel for architectural hardware, light industrial parts, food-related equipment, and indoor corrosion environments.

Composition and property values are reference ranges for engineering screening. Final material confirmation should follow the requested standard, drawing, operating media, temperature, quantity, and inspection requirement.

RFQ material review Send drawings, samples, target material grade, operating environment, quantity, surface finish, and inspection requirements for review.

Engineering Data

Composition, properties, corrosion, and applications

Chemical Composition

  • C ≤ 0.08%

  • Typical tensile strength: ≥ 515 MPa
  • Typical yield strength: ≥ 205 MPa
  • Elongation commonly around 40% or higher

Typical Applications

  • Architectural hardware
  • Food equipment components
  • Light duty fasteners
  • General CNC machined parts

Manufacturing Compatibility

  • CNC machining
  • Fabrication

Corrosion Resistance

Environment-based material selection

Good general corrosion resistance in clean atmospheric and indoor environments. Not the first choice for continuous seawater or high chloride exposure.

Temperature Resistance

Confirm service conditions by standard

Useful for many ambient and moderately elevated temperature applications; confirm creep, scaling, and code requirements for high-temperature service.

FAQ

Material selection questions

Can AODSON confirm the material before production?

Yes. Material grade, standard, inspection documents, and application requirements can be reviewed during RFQ.

Are these values final design data?

No. They are engineering reference values. Final selection should follow the requested standard and operating environment.

Can custom materials be quoted?

Yes. Send the material grade, drawing, standard, quantity, surface finish, and application details through RFQ.
