Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this 0.027" thick 304 stainless steel stock sheet (37" length x 29" width) offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation, critical for hydraulic fluid containment and component fabrication. The austenitic structure of 304 stainless steel provides excellent formability, weldability, and strength at operating temperatures common in hydraulic systems, preventing contamination and degradation of sensitive components. Its non-magnetic properties are also advantageous in specific sensor-intensive hydraulic circuits.
