SS 304 rods are made of 304 grade stainless steel, which is the most common stainless steel alloy in the world. They are known for their high strength and corrosion resistance, and are used in a wide variety of applications:
Composition
SS 304 rods are made up of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, which is why they are sometimes called 18/8.
Uses
SS 304 rods are used in many industries, including aerospace, food and beverage, machinery, architecture, chemicals, and cryogenics.
Properties
SS 304 rods are resistant to corrosion, except in marine and highly corrosive environments. They are also versatile and can be used for many processing techniques.
Appearance
SS 304 rods have a semi-smooth, dull gray finish and sharp edges.
Welding
SS 304 rods have excellent welding characteristics and are annealed after welding to improve their corrosion resistance.
Applications
SS 304 rods are ideal for applications that take place at high temperatures and pressure.
