18gauge 304 Stainless Steel Sheet Brushed Finish

18gauge 304 stainless steel sheet (18ga 304 stainless sheet) is the standard "18/8" stainless steel; 304 stainless steel grade is the most versatile and most widely used stainless steel. If you are interested in 18gauge 304 stainless steel sheet brushed finish, welcome to contact us.

Like Type 302, Type 304 finds its larger demand in the soft tempers. In its annealed condition, the tensile strength is listed at approximately 75,000 PSI minimum and its yield strength at approximately 30,000 PSI minimum with approximate elongation in 2 inches at 40%.

Features of 18gauge 304 Stainless Steel Sheets

Because of its lower carbon content stainless steel Type 304 is not so prone to give trouble after welding, due to carbide precipitation and resultant corrosion. Annealed stainless steel 304 possesses heat and corrosion resistant properties superior to Types 301 and 302 stainless steels. Its strength, work hardening and drawing qualities are slightly less than Type 302. Type 304 is not heat-treatable for hardening purposes. It is non-magnetic as annealed but slightly magnetic following cold working. To solution anneal, cool rapidly in air or water from about 1850° to 2050° F.

18gauge 304 stainless steel sheets are available in a wider range of products, forms and finishes than any other. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of
304 stainless steel grade enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, which has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless parts such as sinks, hollow-ware and saucepans.
