Stainless Steel Sheet 304/304L Finish 2B

Type 304/304L stainless steel, or 18-8 as it is sometimes called, combines remarkable resistance to many corrosive environments with mechanical properties similar to most structural steels. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and not hardenable by heat treatment. Its strength can be improved by cold work. Type 304/304L or the low Carbon version (.03 max) of 304/304L should be used when welding is required. Number 2B finish is achieved with an additional light cold roll finish.

Specifications:

ASTM A240

Applications:

Used in dairy, beverage, and food industries. Used in parts which see most concentrations of acetic, nitric, citric acids, organic and inorganic chemicals, crude and refined oils. Because it is non-magnetic it is used instruments measuring magnetic and electrical properties.

How To Measure:

T (Thickness) X W (Width) X L (Length)
