SUS304 Stainless Steel Sheet
SUS304 is a widely used austenitic stainless steel with a balanced combination of corrosion resistance, formability and weldability. It is suitable for many industrial and consumer sheet metal products. Brushing, polishing, electropolishing and passivation can improve surface quality and cleanliness. Work hardening and bend springback require process control. Chemical compatibility must be checked for the specific medium and concentration.
Typical Applications
Food-processing equipment housings and brackets, medical and laboratory equipment enclosures, instrument housings, cleanable sheet metal parts, corrosion-resistant cabinets and guards. Suitable where corrosion performance, cleanliness and cosmetic quality are important.
Reference Properties & Manufacturing Parameters
Reference values are indicative and are not guaranteed specifications. Material grade, stock condition, processing, test method and part geometry can change the result. A listed temperature is not a continuous-use rating.
| Dimensional tolerance | ±0.2 mm |
|---|---|
| Minimum wall thickness | 0.8 mm |
| Reference temperature range | ≤800 °C |
| Reference tensile strength | 520–720 MPa |
| Reference density | 7.93 g/cm³ |
- Reference values vary with grade, material condition, part geometry and manufacturing process. Confirm final specifications during drawing review.
- Temperature figures are source reference values; the test method, loading and exposure duration are not specified and must be confirmed for the application.
Finishing Options
Confirm compatibility with the exact material grade and application. Define cosmetic surfaces, coating thickness, masking and any dimensional or performance requirements before manufacture.
Design & Manufacturing Review
- Specify sheet grade, thickness, finish and rolling direction where relevant. Confirm the selected stock before finalizing bend geometry.
- Review bend radii, bend reliefs, hole-to-bend distances and fastener access. Flat patterns must account for the actual forming process.
- Define weld locations, cosmetic surfaces and any coating or masking requirements.
