WELDING | 304 is suitable for all conventional welding techniques.This grade does not require thermal treatment after welding. | N/A | |||||||
PITTING CORROSION | 304 is successfully used in media where chloride concentration does not exceed 200 ppm. | N/A | |||||||
CORROSION RESISTANCE | 304 shows good corrosion resistance in a wide range of applications. As an example, 304 exhibits corrosion rates lower than 0.10 mm/year in the following media: -20% acetic acid at 800C. -90% formic acid at 200C. -20% phosphoric acid at 600C. -20% nitric acid at 500C. -90% sulphuric acid at 200C. -Toluene. -Milk. -Beer. -Juice. -Wine. | ||||||||
SURFACE CLEANING | Wash the surface with neutral soap and water applied with a cloth or a brush without scratching the stainless steel. Then, always rinse the stainless steel with water to remove completely the cleaning agent. Finally, it is recommended to dry the surface to preserve a good superficial condition. In severe environments, a frequent cleaning is strongly recommended. | ||||||||
SPECIFICATIONS | 304 can be delivered according to EN, ASTM, ASME, AMS, QQS and MILS standard requirements. | ||||||||
304 is approved in compliance with: -PED (Pressure Equipment Directive), DGRL 97/23/EG according to EN 10028-7 and AD2000 Merkblatt W2 and W10. -Lloyd´s Register of Shipping. | |||||||||
It complies with the European Directives: -Food industry, RE 1935/2004. -Hexavalent chromium, ROHS. -Electrical instruments, ROHS. |
