Product Introduction – 1.4307 304L Stainless Steel Rod

Ing 1.4307 304L stainless steel rod is a low-carbon version of the widely popular 304 stainless steel, offering improved weldability and resistance to sensitization during welding. This grade is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it a top choice for applications in harsh environments, including food processing, chemical industries, and construction. With lower carbon content, the 304L stainless steel rod minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring long-lasting durability in welded structures and components.

Unique Features of 1.4307 304L Stainless Steel Rod

Ing 1.4307 304L stainless steel rod is characterized by its superior resistance to intergranular corrosion and excellent weldability, even in thick sections. Its low carbon content (0.03% max) prevents carbide precipitation, which helps maintain corrosion resistance after welding. This makes the rod ideal for use in environments subject to high temperatures or chemical exposure. The 304L stainless steel rod also retains the benefits of regular 304 stainless steel, such as excellent formability, high tensile strength, and non-reactivity, making it a versatile choice for various industries.
