Differences between SUS 304 and SUS 304L:
- 304L has a 0.03max carbon and is good for welding whereas 304 has a mid range level of carbon
- 304L and 304 are austenitic alloys, which mean that a nonmagnetic solid solution of ferric carbide or carbon in iron is used in giving this stainless steel its corrosion-resistance properties.)
Applications:
- Stainless Steel has a beautiful surface appearance and strong resistance to corrosion and heat. It is very workable and shows excellent performance even at low temperatures.
- A highly popular material known for its strength and ornamental values, it is widely used to achieve architectural aesthetics.
- Excellent in a wide range of atmospheric environments and many corrosive media
- Subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments, and to stress corrosion cracking above 60oC
- Good oxidation resistance
- Grade 304L stainless steel is more resistant to carbide precipitation
- Applied in food processing equipment, particularly in beer brewing, milk processing and wine making
- Kitchen benches, sinks, troughs, equipment and appliances
- Architectural panelling, railings and trim
- Chemical containers, including for transport
- Heat exchangers
- Woven or welded screens for mining, quarrying and water filtration
- Threaded fasteners
- Springs
