304 stainless steel plates are available in both hot-rolled and cold-rolled forms. The main difference lies in the temperature control during processing and the subsequent performance characteristics.

The hardness of 303 stainless steel is usually between HRC20-30, while the hardness of 304 stainless steel is relatively high, with tensile strength and yield strength of 620MPa and 290MPa respectively.

Stainless steel profiles are used in engineering construction. Based on the good corrosion resistance of stainless steel, it can make structural components permanently maintain the integrity of engineering design. Chromium-containing stainless steel also combines mechanical strength and high elongation, making it easy to process and manufacture components.

‌1.4301 steel pipe is made of stainless steel. 1.4301 is a German standard stainless steel material, equivalent to X5CrNi18-10, the corresponding Chinese standard is 0Cr19Ni9 (or 0Cr18Ni9), the corresponding Japanese standard is SUS304, and the corresponding American standard is 304‌.

SUS304 is an 18-8 series austenitic stainless steel, usually used as stamping washers and other fasteners. Since the deformation degree of each part of the material varies, about 15% to 40%, the degree of work hardening of the material also varies.

18/8 stainless steel is 18-8 stainless steel, which is composed of iron + 18% chromium + 8% nickel. It can resist chemical oxidation. This stainless steel is No. 304 in the JIS code, so it is also call 304 stainless steel .
