304 stainless steel plate is an austenitic stainless steel primarily composed of 18% chromium (Cr) and 8% nickel (Ni), offering excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. Its typical chemical composition includes:
| Element | Composition (%) |
|---|---|
| Chromium (Cr) | 18.0 - 20.0 |
| Nickel (Ni) | 8.0 - 10.5 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.08 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 2.0 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 1.0 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.045 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance |
Due to its durability and resistance to oxidation, 304 stainless steel plate is widely used in:

304 stainless steel plate is widely preferred for its cost-effectiveness, corrosion resistance, and versatility in industrial and commercial applications.
A1: 304 stainless steel plate is primarily composed of 18.0% - 20.0% Chromium (Cr) and 8.0% - 10.5% Nickel (Ni). It also contains minor elements like Carbon (≤ 0.08%), Manganese (≤ 2.0%), Silicon (≤ 1.0%), Phosphorus (≤ 0.045%), and Sulfur (≤ 0.03%), with the balance being Iron (Fe).
A2: It is highly favored for its exceptional corrosion resistance, excellent formability, weldability, durability, and resistance to oxidation, making it highly cost-effective and versatile for various industries.
A3: Common applications include processing equipment for the Food & Beverage industry, storage tanks and reactors in the Chemical & Pharmaceutical sectors, architectural elements like cladding and elevator panels, medical tools, automotive exhaust systems, and kitchenware like sinks and countertops.
A4: The thickness ranges from 0.1mm to 100mm, with the common industrial thickness ranging between 0.5mm and 50mm. Standard widths include 1000mm, 1219mm, and 1500mm, while standard lengths are 2000mm, 2438mm, and 3000mm. Custom sizes can also be acquired.
A5: The common finishes include 2B (smooth, slightly reflective), BA (highly reflective, mirror-like), No. 4 (brushed matte finish with visible grain lines), and No. 8 (highly polished mirror finish).
A6: They conform to major international standards such as ASTM A240 (global standard), EN 1.4301 (European standard), JIS SUS304 (Japanese standard), and GB/T 3280 (Chinese standard).
