Austenitic Stainless Steel

1.4301

X5CrNi18-10

304

 

Steel Properties

The most popular, basic and at the same time proven grade of chromium-nickel stainless steel in the known base combination 18/8, characterized by excellent intergranular, stress and pitting corrosion resistance. AISI 304 steel is characterized by full austenitic structure, low carbon content, very good impact strength, formability and ductility, excellent weldability, non-magnetic properties and susceptibility to bending and machining.
