- 304 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A276 Certified
- 73,200 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Weldability
Type 304 is the most common austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel, known as "18-8" for its composition. This grade complies with ASTM A276 and delivers a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and ductility. In its annealed condition, it is non-magnetic and can be easily welded and formed, making it a reliable choice for a wide array of fabricated parts.
As a small-profile flat bar, this 1/4" x 1/2" size is particularly well-suited for light structural and decorative applications. It is frequently used for creating custom brackets, support straps, shims, architectural trim, and small frame stock where both strength and a clean appearance are important.
