304L stainless steel plate chemical composition and properties

304L stainless steel plate, also known as ultra-low carbon stainless steel, is a kind of universal stainless steel material, which is widely used in the production of equipment and parts requiring good comprehensive performance (corrosion resistance and formability).

Chemical composition% of 304L stainless steel plate
Carbon C: ≤ 0.03
Si: ≤ 1.0
Mn: ≤ 2.0
Cr: 18.0 ~ 20.0
Ni: 9.0 ~ 12.0
Sulfur S: ≤ 0.03
Phosphorus P: ≤ 0.045

The mechanical properties of 304L stainless steel plate are as follows
Yield strength (n / mm2) ≥ 205
Tensile strength ≥ 520
Elongation (%) ≥ 40
Hardness HB ≤ 187 HRB ≤ 90 HV ≤ 200
The density of 304L stainless steel plate is 93 g·cm-3

304L stainless steel plate is a variety of 304 stainless steel with low carbon content, which is used for welding. The low carbon content in 304L stainless steel plate reduces the precipitation of carbides in the heat affected zone near the weld to the minimum, and the precipitation of carbides may lead to intergranular corrosion (welding erosion) of stainless steel in some environments.
