- 304 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A240 Certified
- 73,200 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Type 304 is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel, known as 18-8 for its 18% chromium and 8% nickel composition. This sheet is produced to ASTM A240 standards with a 2-B mill finish, providing a smooth, reflective surface. It offers exceptional formability and weldability, making it suitable for complex fabrications without requiring post-weld annealing for most sections.
As a small-thickness (16 gauge) sheet, this material is ideal for formed brackets, electronic enclosures, decorative panels, and HVAC components. Its combination of light weight and rigidity makes it perfect for applications where structural integrity is needed without excessive bulk, such as kitchen backsplashes and appliance panels.
