304 stainless steel product knowledge

304 stainless steel is a common material in stainless steel, with a density of 7.93 g/cm³; The industry is also called 18/8 stainless steel, which means containing more than 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel; High temperature resistance 800℃, with good processing performance, high toughness characteristics, widely used in industrial and furniture decoration industry and food and medical industry. However, it should be noted that compared with ordinary 304 stainless steel, food-grade 304 stainless steel has a more stringent content index. For example, the international definition of 304 stainless steel is mainly chromium 18%-20% nickel 8%-10%, but food-grade 304 stainless steel is chromium 18% and nickel 8%, allowing a certain range of fluctuations, and limiting the content of various heavy metals. In other words, 304 stainless steel is not necessarily food-grade 304 stainless steel
Among the common marking methods on the market are 06Cr19Ni10 and SUS304, of which 06Cr19Ni10 generally indicates national standard production, 304 generally indicates ASTM standard production, and SUS304 indicates daily standard production.
304 is a versatile stainless steel, which is widely used in the production of equipment and parts requiring good comprehensive properties (corrosion resistance and formability). In order to maintain the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel content. 304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced according to ASTM standards in the United States
