The Stainless Steel Sheet (Grade 304/304L) is one of the most widely used stainless steel products across multiple industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, superior strength, outstanding formability, and exceptional weldability. As an austenitic stainless steel, 304/304L stainless steel sheet delivers long-term performance in diverse environments ranging from food processing to chemical processing and architectural applications.
The 304L variant has a lower carbon content (≤ 0.03%), making it ideal for welded structures where intergranular corrosion resistance is critical after welding.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Resists corrosion from most acids, moisture, and atmospheric conditions.
Superior Weldability
304L’s low carbon content prevents carbide precipitation during welding, minimizing corrosion risk at welded joints.
High Strength & Durability
Delivers excellent tensile strength for structural and mechanical applications.
Outstanding Formability
Easily cut, bent, drawn, or stamped into complex shapes for custom fabrication.
Sanitary Surface Finish
Ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and medical applications due to its hygienic, non-reactive properties.
Wide Range of Finishes & Thicknesses
Customizable surface finishes for both industrial and decorative uses.
Food processing equipment & kitchen appliances
Pharmaceutical & medical equipment
Chemical storage tanks & pipelines
Heat exchangers & pressure vessels
Architectural cladding & decorative panels
Automotive trim & exhaust systems
Breweries, dairies, & beverage processing
HVAC & sanitary piping systems
Household sinks, cookware, & utensils
Cleanrooms & laboratory equipment
