304 Stainless Steel

Introduction

Overview of Inox 304

304 stainless steel is a common material in stainless steel with a density of 7.93 g/cm³.

It is also called 18/8 stainless steel in the industry, which means it contains more than 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel.

It has the characteristics of good processing performance and high toughness, and is widely used in industry, furniture decoration industry and food and medical industry.

Common labeling methods on the market include 06Cr19Ni10 and SUS304, of which 06Cr19Ni10 generally means China national standard production, 304 generally means ASTM standard production, and SUS 304 means Japanese standard production.

In order to maintain the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel. 304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced according to the American ASTM standard.
