302 Stainless Steel Sheet

Although very similar to 304 stainless steel type 302 has more carbon and a good record of corrosion resistance.

302 stainless steel sheet. This product is a standard specification for chromium and chromium nickel stainless steel sheet plate and strip used for pressure vessels as well as for general applications. Very good formability and ease of fabrication. Type 302 304 is dual certified to meet both the 302 and 304 alloys. Type 302 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium nickel stainless steel non hardenable by thermal treatments.

These alloys may be considered for a wide variety of applications where one or more of the following properties are important. Type 302 304 is used in many applications including laser welded tubing bellows laser and chemical etching medical food and tool wrap applications. Though it does have a tendency to work harden this can be overcome by slow speeds and high feeds. Types 302 s30200 304 s30400 304l s30403 and 305 s30500 stainless steels are variations of the 18 percent chromium 8 percent nickel austenitic alloy the most familiar and most frequently used alloy in the stainless steel family.

Each alloy represents an excellent combination of corrosion resistance and fabricability. Its corrosion resistance is superior to that of type 301. Type 302 is a higher carbon earlier version of type 304 stainless steel and many 302 applications have switched to type 304 with the improvements in melting technology. Type 302 stainless steel is a popular austenitic and non magnetic stainless steel that is known for its toughness and ductility.

Its higher level of corrosion resistance make it a great choice for the food and beverage industry. It may be cold worked to high tensile strengths with slightly lower ductility than type 301. Description type 302 is an austenitic chromium nickel stainless steel that is available in the annealed and cold worked conditions. Alloy 302 is a variations of the 18 chromium 8 nickel austenitic alloy which is the most familiar and the most frequently used in the stainless steel family.

Types 302 304 304l and 305 stainless steels are variations of the 18 percent chromium 8 percent nickel austenitic alloy the most familiar and most frequently used alloy in the stainless steel family. Alloy 302 is a slightly higher carbon version of 304 often found in strip and wire forms.
