Stellanox Steel is a reputable provider and stockist of premium 304 stainless steel sheets that are made to provide outstanding formability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic finish. 304 sheets, one of the most popular grades of stainless steel, are perfect for a variety of applications in the food processing, chemical, automotive, and construction industries.
What is 304 Stainless Steel Sheet?
Austenitic stainless steel grade 304, often known as 18/8 stainless steel, is used to make 304 stainless steel sheet, a flat-rolled product that contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It is renowned for having good welding and fabrication qualities as well as outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
304 sheets are versatile for both structural and decorative purposes, and they come in a variety of thicknesses, widths, and surface finishes, including 2B, No.4 (brushed), and mirror finish (No.8).
