Description

Type 304L stainless steel is low carbon version of 304 alloy, it is also austenitic steel, the “L” stand for LOW carbon, the carbon content is max 0.035%, 304L exhibits excellent corrosion resistance thanks to the lower carbon content, and has good fabrication and outstanding formability characteristics.

304L 1.4307 Chemical Composition

304L stainless steel is the standard 18/8 stainless steel, and it has a minimum of 18% chromium and 8% nickel content, compared to 304 stainless steel, these two alloys are very similar, but there is one key difference in carbon content, the maximum carbon content in 304 0.08%.

304L 1.4307 Mechanical Properties

304L grade has slightly lower mechanical properties than the standard 304 grade, this means that 304L stainless steel is weaker than the standard 304 alloy, but it is still widely used in many appplications, It can be used at low temperatures down to -196 °C/384.8 °F even in welded structures. Moderate strengths can be reached at elevated temperatures (~550 °C/1022 °F).. Temperatures for excessive scaling are close to 850 °C/1562 °F.

Application

The applications of ASTM A312 Grade 304l are various. They are seen mostly in the food and beverages industry, cryogenic applications, sanitary and pressure containment applications as well. Because of the low carbon content in the ASME SA312 Type 304l is less strong than the ordinary 304 material. Nevertheless, the 304l Stainless Steel Pipe is widely used for the corrosion resistance. There are different variations such as the 304l Schedule 10 Stainless Steel Pipe which indicates the particular wall thickness to diameter. The 304l Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe and 304l Welded Pipe are used in unique applications according to the needs.
