304 STEEL BAR

Grade 304L, the low carbon version of 304, does not require post-weld annealing and so is extensively used in heavy gauge components (over about 6mm). Grade 304H with its higher carbon content finds application at elevated temperatures. The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.

Elevated Temperature Properties

304 displays good oxidation resistance in continuous service up to 930 oC and in intermittent service up to 870 oC.Continuous service however, between 430 oC and 870 oC is not recommended, nor is slow cooling through this range due to the problem of intergranular corrosion. 304L (low carbon type) can be employed to overcome this problem. Mechanical properties are reduced as temperature increases.
