CHEMICAL- INDUSTRY
304L Stainless Steel (Cr) content is relatively high. It reacts with oxygen to form a dense chromium oxide layer (Cr2O3) on the surface of the steel. The chromium oxide layer can effectively prevent oxidation reactions, thus having excellent corrosion resistance. It has good resistance to most common corrosive media, such as acids, alkalis, salt water, etc. Therefore, it is often used in the chemical industry, battery production, food processing and other fields, especially in chlorine-containing environments.
FLUID INDUSTRY
Because the austenite crystal structure of 304L stainless steel is stable and the carbon content is less than 0.03%, it has good thermal crack resistance. During the welding process, carbon precipitation can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of intercrystalline corrosion. Therefore, 304L stainless steel is often used to manufacture welded structures and equipment, such as storage tank production, pipeline production, container welding, etc.
AUTOMOTIVE PARTS INDUSTRY
304L stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel with a chromium content of approximately 18~20% and a nickel content of approximately 8~12%. Therefore, it has the ability to resist high-temperature oxidation and good strength and wear resistance, and is not prone to oxidation or embrittlement. This makes it suitable for use in the manufacturing of automotive parts industry/component materials.
