- 304 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A269 Certified
- 73,200 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Weldability
Type 304 is the most common austenitic stainless steel, containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel for superior resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Supplied in an annealed condition, it is non-magnetic and cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Its excellent formability and weldability under ASTM A269 make it a versatile choice for a wide range of structural and decorative projects where environmental exposure is a concern.
As a medium-sized tube, the 1" square profile provides an efficient strength-to-weight ratio for applications like equipment frames, support structures, architectural handrails, and display stands. It is easily cut, welded, and formed, simplifying fabrication for both functional and cosmetic requirements in commercial and industrial settings.
