SAE 304 Stainless Steel Rod - Diameter: 0.5~8.0mm
Description:
SAE 304 stainless steel, also known as A2 stainless steel (not the same as A2 tool steel) or 18/8 stainless steel, European norm 1.4301, is the most common stainless steel. The steel contains both chromium (usually 18%) and nickel (usually 8%) metals as the main non-iron constituents. It is an austenite steel. It is not very electrically or thermally conductive, and is non-magnetic. It has a higher corrosion resistance than regular steel and is widely used because of the ease in which it is formed into various shapes. It also contains 17.5-20% Chromium, 8-11% Nickel, and less than 0.08% Carbon, 2% Manganese, 1% Silicon, 0.045% Phosphorus, and 0.03% Sulfur.
Application:
304 stainless steel is used for a variety of home and industry applications, such as screws, machinery parts, fabrics, in addition to other DIY projects like making motor or wheel shafts.
Workmanship:
Both ends of each piece we send out is well trimmed with CNC machine in a standard way so that users won't get hurt by the sharp edges.
