Stainless Steel 304 is the most widely used stainless steel grade. It is a chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel with relatively low carbon content and somewhat higher chromium and nickel than AISI types 301 and 302. Grade 304 is very ductile when in an annealed condition. It has good elevated temperature properties as well as good toughness at low temperatures. It is well suited for welding and where the finished product must resist the more severe forms of corrosion.
Stainless Steel 304L is a very low carbon austenitic chromium nickel steel with corrosion similar to type 304 but with superior resistance to intergranular carbide precipitation during welding or stress relieving.
