SS 304L Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel

SS 304L is an austenitic Chromium-Nickel stainless steel offering the optimum combination of corrosion resistance, strength, and ductility. These attributes make it a favorite for many mechanical switch components, and use in surgical instruments. Low carbon content reduces susceptibility to carbide precipitation during welding. The alloy is readily formed in the annealed temper.SS 304L may be joined by all commonly used brazing and welding methods including oxyacetylene. The corrosive resistance to acids is generally very good with the exception of halogen acids. Available Sizes: SS 304L is available from Hamilton Precision Metals as strip product in thicknesses from 0.0005” to 0.050” (0.0127 mm to 1.27 mm) in widths up to 12.0” (304.8 mm). It is also available in foil as thin as 0.000200” (0.00508 mm) in widths of 4.0” (101.6 mm) maximum. The material conforms to ASTM A240, ASTM A666, FED QQ-S-766, MIL-S-4043, UNS S30403.
