Stainless Steel Flat Bar 304
304 stainless steel flat bar is a good, general all-purpose material. It has good corrosion resistant properties, is easily machinable, weldable, and can be polished. It is also sought after because of its strength, ductility, minimum maintenance, and visual appeal.
The most versatile and widely used grade of stainless steel is 304 which contains large amounts of nickel and chromium making it highly corrosion resistant. Like that of 304 stainless, 316 stainless also contains large amounts of chromium and nickel and is used in applications where corrosion resistance is required, especially in marine environments and chemical processing plants.
304 is typically the better stainless option when formability is required or when price is a determining factor. 316 stainless is typically a better stainless option when the environment will contain high amounts of corrosive elements, if the material will be exposed to moisture or water, or when greater strength is required.
