Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a 304 stainless steel plate?
The 304 and 304L ASTM A240 stainless steel plate is a standard 18-8 material – meaning it contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 304 Stainless steel plate is one of the most versatile stainless steel materials available.
Is 304 stainless steel good quality?
304 stainless steel is the most common form of stainless steel used around the world due to excellent corrosion resistance and value. 304 can withstand corrosion from most oxidizing acids. That durability makes 304 easy to sanitize, and therefore ideal for kitchen and food applications.
How much is a 304 stainless steel sheet?
SS 304 plate and sheet prices in India vary based on thickness, finish, mill brand, and current LME nickel rates. As of 2024, indicative prices for standard cold-rolled 2B finish sheets range from INR 115–185 per kg. Contact us directly for a current quote based on your exact specifications and quantity.
What's the main difference between a 304 plate and a 304 sheet?
The primary difference is thickness. Generally:
*304 Sheet (Stainless Steel 304 Sheet): Material less than 6mm (approx. 1/4 inch) thick.
* 304 Plate (Stainless Steel 304 Plate): Material 6mm (approx. 1/4 inch) thick or greater.
Plates are typically used for more structural or heavy-duty applications, while sheets are common for lighter fabrication, paneling, and appliances.
Is Stainless Steel 304 magnetic?
In its fully annealed (softened) state, SS 304 is essentially non-magnetic (a very slight magnetic response might be detectable). However, cold working (like bending, forming, or drawing during sheet production) can induce some magnetism in the material.
Can Amardeep Steel cut SS 304 plates and sheets to custom sizes?
Yes, Amardeep Steel offers value-added processing services, including precision cutting, shearing, and slitting to meet your specific dimensional requirements for both 304 plates and 304 sheets.
How do I get a price for 304 stainless steel plates or sheets from Amardeep Steel?
The best way to get an accurate and current 304 stainless steel plate price or sheet quote is to contact us directly. Pricing depends on current market conditions, the required dimensions (thickness, width, length), quantity, finish, and any processing needed.
