304/304L stainless steel specification:
304L is a variation of 304 and has a lower carbon content which improves weldability and lowers the risk of reduced corrosion resistance around the weld.
ASTM A240 304/304L stainless steel products are used for tanks, tools, food industry machinery and appliances, architectural trim, filtration screens, and fasteners in corrosive marine environments.
