1.4301/1.4307/304L Stainless Steel Tubing
Apart from the old name18/8, 1.4301 or 1.4307 stainless steel tubing which is characterized bydistinct resistance to corrosion and heat, superior machinability as well as excellent weldability, is also known as grade304 or 304Lrespectively. It also can be used for cold or hot working. As the mostcommonly used stainless tube, our type 304 series which can be severely deepdrawn is mainly applied to sinks and saucepans.
As the low carbon version of 304, type 304L is suitable for heavy gauge components for itsenhanced weldability.Meanwhile, 304H with high carbon content is applicable for elevated temperatureuse as well. Our product may be available as dual certified material that is inline with the criteria for both 304 and 304L.

Remark: Above properties are for 1.4307 Property data given in this document is typical for flat rolled products covered by ASTM A240/A240M. ASTM, EN or other standards may cover products sold. It is reasonable to expect specifications in these standards to be similar but not necessarily identical to those given in this datasheet. |
Particular ranges of sulphurcontent may provide improvement of particular properties. For machinability,a controlled sulphurcontent of 0.015 % to 0.030% is recommended and permitted. For weldability, a controlled sulphur content of 0.008 % to0.030 % is recommended and permitted. For polishability, a controlled sulphur maximum content of 0.015 % is recommended.
