What Is ASTM A240-304 stainless steel plate
304 stainless steel is a common material in stainless steel, with a density of 7.93g/cm³, also known as 18/8 stainless steel in the industry, meaning that it contains more than 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel. It has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties, stamping, bending and other hot processing good, no heat treatment hardening phenomenon, the use of temperature range in -196℃ ~ 800℃. 304 stainless steel is widely used in food processing, storage and transportation, as well as plate heat exchangers, bellows, household goods, auto parts, medical equipment, building materials, chemistry, agriculture, ship parts and other fields, but also can be used for curtain wall, side wall, roof and other building purposes.
In addition, 304 stainless steel is also divided into food grade and non-food grade, food grade stainless steel in addition to the corrosion resistance of stainless steel requirements, but also for heavy metal precipitation indicators have requirements, only to meet the relevant standards, is the real contact with food stainless steel material.

Products Characteristics
The most important elements in 304 are Ni and Cr, but they are not limited to these two elements. Specific requirements are specified by product standards. The common judgment situation in the industry believes that as long as the Ni content is greater than 8% and the Cr content is greater than 18%, it can be considered 304 stainless steel. This is why the industry calls this type of stainless steel 18/8 stainless steel. In fact, the relevant product standards have very clear provisions for 304, and these product standards have some differences for different shapes of stainless steel. Below are some common product standards and tests.

Application Field

Most of the use requirements are to maintain the original appearance of the building for a long time. When determining the type of stainless steel to be selected, the main consideration is the required aesthetic standards, the corrosiveness of the local atmosphere and the cleaning system to be used. However, other applications are increasingly simply seeking structural integrity or impermeability. For example, the roofs and side walls of industrial buildings. In these applications, the owner's construction cost may be more important than aesthetics, and the surface is not very clean. 304 stainless steel works quite well in dry indoor environments. However, in rural and urban areas, if you want to maintain its appearance outdoors, it needs to be cleaned frequently. In heavily polluted industrial areas and coastal areas, the surface will be very dirty and even rust.
