Chemical Composition (Typical Values)

The balanced chemical composition of 304 stainless steel provides its renowned corrosion resistance and mechanical stability.

Mechanical Properties

304 stainless steel plate offers a reliable combination of strength and ductility, making it suitable for both structural and forming applications.

These properties are verified and documented in the EN 10204-3.1 certificate, ensuring consistency and quality control.

2m Width Advantage

The 2-meter width stainless steel plate provides several practical and economic benefits:

• Fewer welded joints for large tanks, panels, and enclosures

• Improved material utilization and reduced scrap

• Faster fabrication and lower labor costs

• Better surface continuity for architectural and decorative uses

This makes it particularly suitable for industries requiring large flat surfaces or pressure-retaining structures.

Surface Finishes Available

304 stainless steel plates can be supplied in multiple surface finishes to match functional and aesthetic requirements:

• 2B Finish – Smooth, cold-rolled, widely used in industrial equipment

• BA Finish – Bright annealed, mirror-like appearance

• No.1 Finish – Hot-rolled, pickled surface

• No.4 Finish – Brushed surface for architectural use

• HL (Hairline) – Decorative linear finish

Custom finishes are available upon request.

Applications of 304 Stainless Steel Plate

Thanks to its versatility, corrosion resistance, and hygiene properties, the 304 stainless steel plate is used in a wide range of industries:
