1.4307 AISI 304L Stainless Steel Coil – Product Overview

The 1.4307 AISI 304L Stainless Steel Coil is a low-carbon version of the standard AISI 304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and outstanding weldability. The “L” in 304L refers to the low carbon content (≤0.03%), which makes this grade particularly resistant to intergranular corrosion, especially after welding.

This makes 1.4307 AISI 304L an ideal choice for applications that require welding or exposure to high-temperature conditions, as it retains its strength and corrosion resistance even after thermal processing. With its remarkable durability, formability, and aesthetic appeal, it is widely used in industries such as food processing, medical equipment, and chemical processing.

Unique Features of 1.4307 AISI 304L Stainless Steel Coil

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: The low carbon content of AISI 304L ensures excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly against intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, especially in welding applications.
• Excellent Weldability: The lower carbon content makes it more resistant to carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring that it retains its corrosion resistance and strength in welded areas.
• Good Formability: AISI 304L is easily formable and can be processed into various shapes, including coils, sheets, and pipes, making it ideal for use in both industrial and architectural applications.
• Non-Magnetic: Like other austenitic stainless steels, AISI 304L is non-magnetic in its annealed state, which is a crucial characteristic for certain applications such as medical or food equipment.
• High Durability at Elevated Temperatures: AISI 304L maintains its mechanical properties and structural integrity even at high temperatures, making it suitable for environments subject to heat and thermal cycling.
