304 BA cold rolled stainless steel sheet

304 BA cold rolled stainless steel sheet

Grade 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless; it is the most versatile and most widely used stainless steel, available in a wider range of products, forms and finishes than any other. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of Grade 304 enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, which has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless parts such as sinks, hollow-ware and saucepans. For these applications it is common to use special "304DDQ" (Deep Drawing Quality) variants. Grade 304 is readily brake or roll formed into a variety of components for applications in the industrial, architectural, and transportation fields. Grade 304 also has outstanding welding characteristics. Post-weld annealing is not required when welding thin sections. Stainless Steel: 304 vs. 304L The only difference between 304 steel and 304L steel is the carbon content of each grade. While all 304 stainless steel is low carbon, 304 has a roughly 0.04% higher carbon content maximum than 304L. For large weldments, 304L’s lower carbon content can help prevent possible corrosion caused by chromium depletion at high temperatures.

BA FINISH (Bright Annealed)

The classic use of a BA finish is domestic: the interior of a dishwasher or clothes washing machine. In the clothes washer, it also provides a smooth, non-abrasive surface for the clothes to slide around. The mirror like surface is also used in road mirrors where a precise image is not required. When specifying this finish think about these attributes: 1. BA is common in some grades and thicknesses, but not all 2. It is highly corrosion resistant because it is very smooth 3. Different batches may not match 4. It is has been produced in the mill and can't be exactly matched after fabrication although a mechanical mirror polish can be close.
