Stainless 304L
Low carbon — ideal for heavy-section welding
304L is an austenitic stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability and great versatility. Its low carbon content limits the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding while retaining good mechanical properties. Durable and easy to work, it is widely used for industrial equipment, mechanical parts, tanks, piping, food-contact components and parts for the food, chemical, medical and precision engineering sectors.
