FAQ
Q1: Is 1.4301 the same as 304 stainless steel?
A: 1.4301 and AISI 304 are commonly treated as corresponding grades. EN 1.4301 is designated X5CrNi18-10, while AISI 304 is commonly identified as UNS S30400. Chemical and mechanical requirements should always be checked against the applicable standard.
Q2: Is 304 stainless steel plate corrosion resistant?
A: Yes. 304 stainless steel offers good general corrosion resistance against atmospheric moisture and many common industrial environments. For high-chloride, seawater, or more aggressive chemical environments, 316L stainless steel may be a more suitable choice.
Q3: Can 6–8 mm 304 stainless steel plate be welded?
A: Yes. 1.4301 / 304 stainless steel has good weldability and can generally be welded using TIG, MIG/MAG, SMAW, and other suitable welding processes.
Q4: Can 304 stainless steel plate be cut to size?
A: Yes. We can provide customized width, length, and cut-to-size services according to customer drawings, specifications, and order requirements.
Q5: Can the 2B surface be polished or brushed?
A: Yes. The 2B surface can be further processed through brushing, polishing, grinding, or other surface treatments depending on the required final appearance.
