Ensure product quality and transportation
304 stainless steel is the most commonly used stainless steel and is an austenitic stainless steel. 304 stainless steel is also known as “18/8 stainless steel”. This name comes from the composition of 304 stainless steel, 18% chromium and 8% nickel. In addition to these two chemical elements, 304 stainless steel contains nickel, manganese, silicon, nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus and sulfur.

Performance of 304 stainless steel
To understand the advantages of 304 stainless steel, we must first understand the composition of stainless steel. The three major chemical components that determine the performance of 304 stainless steel include Fe (67-71.5%), Cr (17.5-19.5%), and Ni (8-10.5%). The performance of 304 stainless steel is introduced.
1. Corrosion resistance
Due to the presence of Cr in 304 stainless steel, Cr can maintain a stable oxide film at high temperatures, providing 304 stainless steel with good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.
2. Processing performance
Due to the high Ni content in 304 stainless steel and the low impurity elements (carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, etc.), the austenite structure can be maintained, and it is not easy to become brittle and crack during processing.
3. Good surface finish
The high Cr and Ni elements in 304 stainless steel can form a bright surface, showing gloss, and the bright surface is not easy to be contaminated and discolored, and is easy to clean.
4. Good heat resistance
304 stainless steel has good heat resistance, which makes it widely used in high-temperature furnaces and heat treatment equipment.
Application of 304 stainless steel
1. Kitchen utensils
304 stainless steel is resistant to high temperatures and is not easy to rust. It is a food-grade material, so 304 stainless steel is widely used in the kitchen, such as pots, knives, bowls, tableware, etc.
Kitchen utensils: Since 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, it can remain stable in an environment where it comes into contact with moisture, grease, acid and alkali, and will not produce harmful substances, meeting food hygiene requirements. Therefore, 304 stainless steel is often used to make kitchen utensils, such as sinks, faucets, knives, pots, etc.
2. Auto parts
Many accessories in automobiles also use 304 stainless steel. Taking advantage of the high temperature and corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel is often used for wipers, mufflers, molded products, exhaust systems, wheel covers, etc.
3. Medical equipment
304 stainless steel is also widely used in hospitals, because 304 stainless steel can remain stable in the environment of liquid medicine and disinfectant, and will not produce harmful substances. Therefore, 304 stainless steel is mainly used to manufacture medical equipment, surgical instruments, drug storage equipment, etc.
4. Construction field
304 stainless steel can play a good decorative role in the construction field, and is commonly seen in stainless steel handrails, railings, wall decorations, curtain walls, railings, doors and windows, etc.
5. Chemical industry
304 stainless steel has corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, and can remain stable in an environment exposed to organic acids, inorganic acids, alkalis and other substances, and will not produce harmful substances. In the chemical industry, 304 stainless steel is often used to manufacture chemical equipment, storage tanks, pipelines, valves, pumps, etc.
