304 stainless steel is a universal stainless steel material, and its rust resistance is stronger than that of 200 series stainless steel materials. 304 stainless steel plate is suitable for food processing, transportation and storage. It has good plasticity and can be used in plate heat exchangers, tableware, cabinets, and water heaters. Then, auto parts, water heaters, building materials, and food industries are also involved.
According to the manufacturing method, there are two types of hot rolling and cold rolling, and they are divided into 5 types according to the structural characteristics of the steel grade: austenite type, austenite-ferrite type, ferrite type, martensite type, and precipitation hardening type. Including thin cold plates with a thickness of 0.02-4 mm and medium and thick plates with a thickness of 4.5-100 mm. The density of 304 stainless steel is 7.93 g/cm3. Austenitic stainless steel generally uses this value. 304 has a chromium content (%) of 17.00-19.00 and a nickel content (%) of 8.00-10.00. 304 is equivalent to my country's 0Cr19Ni9 (0Cr18Ni9) stainless steel. 304 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and good resistance to intergranular corrosion. 304 stainless steel has a beautiful surface, diversified use possibilities, good corrosion resistance, long-term durability, better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel, and high strength, so the thin plate has a high possibility of use, high temperature oxidation resistance and high strength, so it can resist fire. Ambient temperature processing, that is, easy plastic processing, is unique among metals because stainless steel already possesses many desirable properties required by building materials, and its development continues. Stainless steel combines performance, appearance and use characteristics, so stainless steel will remain one of the best building materials in the world.
The most common ones on the market are filament and short filament. After processing such surface, 304 stainless steel plate shows good decorative effect and can meet the requirements of general decorative materials. Generally speaking, 304 series stainless steel can form a good effect after one frosting. Due to the low cost, simple operation, low processing cost, and wide application of this type of processing equipment, it has become a must-have equipment for processing centers. Therefore, most machining centers can provide frosted plates for filaments and short filaments, of which 304 steel accounts for more than 80%. The 304 series stainless steel has a perfect decorative effect after oil grinding, and is widely used in decorative panels such as elevators and home appliances. Cold-rolled 304 series stainless steel can generally achieve good results after one grinding pass. There are also some machining centers on the market that can provide oil-based grinding of hot-rolled stainless steel, and the effect is comparable to that of cold-rolled oil grinding. Oily drawing is also divided into filament and short filament. Elevator decoration generally uses filament, and all kinds of small household appliances, kitchen utensils and other two kinds of patterns can be selected.
304 stainless steel is the most widely used chromium-nickel stainless steel. As a widely used steel, it has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties; good hot workability such as stamping and bending, no heat treatment Hardening phenomenon (use temperature -196℃~800℃). Corrosion resistance in the atmosphere, if it is an industrial atmosphere or heavily polluted area, it needs to be cleaned in time to avoid corrosion. Suitable for processing, storage and transport of food
