What is 304 / 304L Stainless Steel Strip?
304 / 304L Stainless Steel Strip is an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy with low carbon content (L variant) designed for enhanced weldability and minimized carbide precipitation. The strip form is typically cold-rolled, allowing for precise thickness control and superior surface finish.
It offers excellent corrosion resistance, good strength, and outstanding forming and fabrication properties, making it suitable for critical applications in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries.
