304 is a kind of universal stainless steel. We widely use 304 stainless steel for comprehensive performance (corrosion resistance, formability) better equipment, and parts production. In order to maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel. Steel must contain at least 18% chromium and at least 8% nickel.
304 stainless strips can achieve high hardness and strength through cold working. Under the annealed condition, the type 304 stainless steel strip has good ductility. We can easily use it to cold process common manufacturing processes such as roll forming, deep drawing, and bending. Stainless steel 304 strips are commonly designated for these features, giving them high ductility, and excellent stretching, molding, and spinning properties. The alloy work hardens rapidly. But in-process annealing is sometimes necessary to restore desirable ductility characteristics and lower hardness.
