- ASTM A276 Certified
- 73,200 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Weldability
Type 304 stainless steel is the most widely used austenitic chromium-nickel alloy, often called "18-8" for its composition. This provides excellent resistance to a wide range of atmospheric and chemical corrosives. In its annealed condition, it is non-magnetic, has exceptional ductility, and conforms to ASTM A276, making it ideal for welded assemblies and complex forming operations.
As a small-profile flat bar, this 1/8" x 1/2" size is perfectly suited for light-duty structural and decorative applications. It is frequently used by fabricators to create custom mounting brackets, support straps, shims, decorative trim, and small framework where corrosion resistance and a clean appearance are essential.
