Type 304 Stainless Steel Coil - Strip - Sheet (Annealed ) is the most commonly used austenitic, chromium-nickel Stainless Steel.  Its corrosion resistance is somewhat higher than that of Type 302.  It is essentially nonmagnetic when annealed and can become slightly magnetic when cold worked.  The alloy has excellent fabricability and weldability.

The alloy serves a wide range of applications.  It resists rusting in architectural applications.  It is resistant to food processing environments, except for high-temperature conditions involving high acid and chloride contents, and it resists organic chemicals, dyestuffs and a wide variety of inorganic chemicals. 

Melting Range:  1850-2050 F / 1008-1120 C
