Stainless Steel SS304 Sheet Metal Parts for Food Processing Equipment Sanitary Design
SS304 is widely used in food processing, chemical processing, construction, and household appliances due to its excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and fabrication ease. As an austenitic stainless steel, it offers high toughness and good weldability while remaining non-magnetic.
