304 Stainless Steel Sheet
The 304 stainless steel sheet is a flat sheet made of 304 stainless steel grades. It has great mechanical qualities and is resistant to many corrosive substances. However, for applications where sanitation and cleanliness are key considerations, the 304 stainless steel is helpful.
KDM provides superior quality 304 stainless steel sheets which is the most economical yet popular stainless steel. It provides excellent corrosion resistance to a variety of chemical corrosives, industrial settings, and maritime conditions. When worked, 304 stainless sheets may become slightly magnetic, and they cannot be heated.

During the months of August 21 and July 22, the cost of 304 SS Sheet items ranges from $200 to $250 per kg.
This is true for stainless steel grades 304 and 304L. Although these two alloys are extremely similar, there is one significant distinction. The maximum carbon percentage for grade 304 stainless steel is 0.08%, but the maximum carbon content for grade 304L stainless steel is 0.03%.
It’s crucial to keep in mind that 304 stainless steel sheets can corrode but won’t rust under typical atmospheric circumstances. Only harsher settings or circumstances where the steel’s composition contains impurities cause stainless steel to corrode.
For example, 316 stainless steel is more resistant to salt and other corrosives than 304 stainless steel. Therefore, 316 is the best option if you’re making parts that will frequently be exposed to chemicals or a marine environment.
