Stainless contains a high percentage of chromium which helps it resist corrosion. It is also sought after because of its strength, ductility, minimum maintenance, and visual appeal.
Also available in limited inventory is grade 316 stainless steel sheets. 304 is typically the better stainless option when formability is required or when price is a determining factor. 316 stainless is typically a better stainless option when the environment will contain high amounts of corrosive elements, if the material will be exposed to moisture or water, or when greater strength is required.
Features:
- Brushed, grainy finish, not polished
- High corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ratio, easy to fabricate, clean, and hardenable.
- 304 #4 Stainless Sheet is stocked in 24 gauge (.025) up to 16 gauge (.063)
- 48” x 120” stock sheet sizes available; may be purchased by the 12” x 48” increment (12” x 48”, 24” x 48”, 36” x 48”, etc)
- Many sizes are offered with PVC coating on one side. PVC coating is added at the time of production by the mill to keep the surface protected.
