Type 304 stainless steel is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel. Also known as '18-8' stainless because of its 18 percent chromium content and 8 percent nickel content, 304 stainless steel has good forming and welding properties, as well as strong corrosion resistance and strength, even at extremely low temperatures.
304 stainless steel Physical Properties:
Density: 0.803g/cm3
Electrical resistivity: 72 microhm-cm (20C)
Specific Heat: 0.50 kJ/kg-K (0-100°C)
Thermal conductivity: 16.2 W/m-k (100°C)
Modulus of Elasticity (MPa): 193 x 103 in tension
Melting Range: 2550-2650°F (1399-1454°C)
Common uses for type 304 stainless steel include in the food industry, for brewing, milk processing, wine making, and in pipelines, yeast pans, fermentation vats and storage tanks.
It is common for 304 and 304L to be stocked in "Dual Certified" form, particularly in plate and pipe. These items have chemical and mechanical properties complying with both 304 and 304L specifications. Such dual certified product does not meet 304H specifications and may be unacceptable for high temperature applications.
