304 Stainless Steel

304 stainless steel is the most widely used austenitic “18‑8” stainless alloy, offering excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, and great weldability for a broad range of industrial and consumer applications.

Key Features

This grade combines strong general corrosion resistance, ease of fabrication, and excellent formability. It is not hardenable by heat treatment, but can be strengthened by cold work, and is excellent for welded or drawn parts.

Typical Applications
  • Kitchen equipment, sinks, cutlery and cookware
  • Food and beverage processing equipment and sanitary fittings
  • Architectural panels and handrails
  • Chemical equipment, tanks and piping for moderate environments
  • General engineering parts requiring durability and corrosion resistance
Forms of Supply

Supplied in annealed condition in sheets, plates, coils, bars, pipes and fittings; available cut‑to‑size with standard finishing options for delivery across UAE & Gulf region.

Technical Specifications

Chemical Composition
  • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08% – controls carbide precipitation and maintains corrosion resistance.
  • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00% – enhances strength and workability.
  • Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.75% – contributes to de‑oxidation and strength.
  • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045% – keeps brittleness low.
  • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.03% – improves machinability.
  • Chromium (Cr): 18.0‑20.0% – provides corrosion resistance.
  • Nickel (Ni): 8.0‑10.5% – enhances formability and toughness.
  • Aluminium (Al) & Iron (Fe): Balance – base matrix elements.
Certifications
  • Supplied with standard Mill Test Certificates (MTC) for chemical and mechanical properties.
  • Available with EN10204 3.1 / 3.2 inspection certificates or equivalent third-party verification upon request.
  • Certificates can include compliance with ASTM, ISO, or customer-specified standards.
  • Contact sales for project-specific certification, traceability, or third-party inspection requirements.
