√ Corrosion Resistance: Offers strong resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments.
√ Strength and Durability: Provides good strength and durability, suitable for structural components and parts that need to withstand wear.
√ Machinability: While stainless steel 304 is more challenging to machine compared to softer materials, it is still manageable with proper tools and techniques.
√ Non-Magnetic Properties: Generally non-magnetic, which is beneficial for applications requiring minimal magnetic interference.
√ Work Hardening: Tends to work-harden during machining, which means cutting tools may need to be frequently changed to maintain efficiency.
√ Surface Finish: Achieves a smooth, polished finish easily, which is useful for aesthetic and hygienic applications.
