Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 304 stainless steel stock sheet boasts a substantial 0.720-inch thickness, a 35-inch length, and a 31-inch width, yielding a robust surface area and exceptional load-bearing capacity. Composed of ASTM A240 Type 304, it exhibits excellent tensile strength (minimum 520 MPa) and yield strength (minimum 205 MPa), along with superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion due to its 18% chromium and 8% nickel content. This makes it ideal for fabricated components in marine environments, chemical processing, and heavy-duty industrial lifting equipment where structural integrity and material longevity are paramount.
