Stainless Steel Flat Bar 304/304L is a flat shaped 304/304L Stainless Steel Alloy bar.
304/304L Stainless Steel Alloy has excellent mechanical properties and is resistant to many corrosive agents.
It is useful where sanitation and cleanliness are important. Non magnetic in the annealed condition. Hardness and tensile strength can be increased by cold working, but modified by lowered carbon content providing good resistance to corrosion in welded construction where subsequent heat treatment is not practical.
Grade 304L (L= low carbon) is the same as the 304 except it has an extra-low-carbon analysis, the advantage of which is that it precludes any harmful precipitation in the 800º F to 1500º F range, such as might otherwise occur in welding heavier sections.
