SAE 304 stainless steel in acidic applications, it is commonly replaced by 316 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel is used for a variety of household and industrial applications such as food handling and processing equipment, screws, machinery parts, and car headers. 304 stainless steel is also used in the architectural field for exterior accents such as water and fire features. It is also a common coil material for vaporizers. They all possess the same nominal chromium and nickel contents and thus possess the same corrosion resistance, ease of fabrication and weldability. The carbon content of 304H (UNS S30409) is restricted to 0.04-0.10%, which provides
Stainless steel fiber risks of electrostatic discharge are much greater. Other uses include tire cord, missile nose cones, work clothing such as protective suits, space suits, and cut resistant gloves for butchers and other people working near bladed or dangerous machinery. Stainless steel fiber Stainless steel fibers are manufactured fibers composed of stainless steel. Composition may include carbon (C), silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and other elements. Currently stainless steel fibers are manufactured primarily in Europe. The most common uses for stainless steel fibers is in the field of the electrical and textiles industry such as anti-radiation cloth, thermal resistant
