🛡️ Brief Introduction
304 stainless steel is a general-purpose austenitic stainless steel, also known as 18/8 stainless steel (due to its content of approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel). It is one of the most commonly used and classic stainless steel grades due to its excellent corrosion resistance, good machinability, and aesthetically pleasing surface. Because of its excellent overall performance, 304 stainless steel is ubiquitous, widely used in kitchenware and home appliances, automotive parts, exhaust pipes, and other fields. 304 is typically non-magnetic or only weakly magnetic.
304 stainless steel is considered a "jack-of-all-trades" in the world of stainless steel, achieving a perfect balance between corrosion resistance, machinability, strength, and cost. Unless in harsh chloride-containing environments or special industrial/medical applications, it is the most reliable and economical choice.
