304L stainless steel is a low-carbon version of the widely used 304 stainless steel. It is an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy with excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and workability.
The key feature of 304L stainless steel is its low carbon content, which makes it less susceptible to carbide precipitation during welding. This property improves the weldability of the material, ensuring strong and reliable welds.
304L stainless steel, also known as ultra-low carbon stainless steel, is a kind of universal stainless steel material, widely used in the production of equipment and parts requiring good comprehensive properties (corrosion resistance and formability).
