Detailed Engineering Specifications

A high-performance industrial component, this 304 stainless steel stock sheet measures 0.413 inches in thickness, with dimensions of 27 inches in length and 44 inches in width. Fabricated from UNS S30400, it exhibits excellent tensile strength and ductility, crucial for forming and withstanding abrasive forces. Its austenitic microstructure provides inherent corrosion resistance to a wide range of environments, preventing premature degradation during high-friction processes. This material is particularly suited for custom fabrication of polishing pads, abrasive backing plates, and wear-resistant surfaces in manufacturing and finishing lines.
