Where are 304 Stainless Steels Used?

304 stainless steel is a common steel in stainless steel, also known as 18/8 stainless steel. Its characteristics are high temperature resistance, excellent processability, and good toughness. It is used as a frequently used steel. Commonly used in life are 304 stainless steel pipes, 304 stainless steel plates and 304 stainless steel coils. As a very important building material, 304 stainless steel is widely used in industry, construction industry, home decoration industry and food and medical industry. It is one of the indispensable materials for life! So what items in our life are made of 304 stainless steel? Let’s see it together!

Car

The application of 304 stainless steel pipe in the automotive industry is the fastest growing. In the past ten years, public transportation vehicles such as coaches, subways, high-speed railway cars, and household cars have widely used stainless steel pipe materials!

Compared with traditional steel, because 304 stainless steel can ensure sufficient strength and weight ratio, it also has good plasticity, toughness, formability and weldability. Is the first choice for car frames. The superior performance of stainless steel can result in cars with light weight, strong impact resistance, high safety and long life. Such frames can be recycled for secondary use. Not only can save costs, but also save resources. And some other auto parts are also made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has a great potential market in the entire automotive industry!

Bathroom, Kitchen

Because the home kitchen and bathroom are in a humid environment for a long time, ordinary steel pipes will rust after a period of use, the service life is not long, and the safety of household drinking water is affected! Therefore, the use of 304 stainless steel pipes here can ensure long-term non-rust, and the corrosion resistance and tensile strength of 304 stainless steel pipes themselves. Make 304 stainless steel pipe more and more popular in the field of home decoration!

Water Industry

In order to prevent water from being seriously polluted during storage and transportation, stainless steel pipes are generally used to store and transport water. Because 304 stainless steel pipes have rust resistance, high temperature and pressure resistance, and good sanitary properties, 304 stainless steel pipes have slowly begun to be used in the industrial field use! In addition to common scenes in life, 304 stainless steel is also used in some high-end machinery fields, such as food industry, chemical, medical equipment, aircraft exhaust pipes, etc. It can be seen that 304 stainless steel has been widely used in heavy industry, light industry, daily necessities industry and building decoration industry.
