Cold Rolled Stainless Steel

304L Stainless Steel

304L is the low-carbon version of 304. The reduced carbon content limits chromium carbide precipitation during welding, so it resists intergranular corrosion in welded sections. It is preferred for thicker welded structures and applications that involve heat.
