304 Stainless Steel Strip
DIN-EN 1.4301, UNS S30400, ANN ( AMS 5513), 1/4H (AMS 5910), 1/2H (AMS 5911), 3/4H (AMS 5912), FH (AMS 5513)
304 stainless steel contains a high nickel content and is one of the most versatile and widely used austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steels. Sometimes it is also referred to as 18/8, due to its composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. There are also nickel, manganese, silicon, nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur in the alloy. Aside from excellent drawing properties, this material is also highly corrosion-resistant and very formable.

Cold Working Of 304 Stainless Steel Strip
It is readily possible to work harden 304 stainless steel strip. Through cold working, a high level of strength and hardness can be achieved. The type 304 stainless steels are very ductile when they have been annealed, and they can easily be cold worked by roll forming, deep drawing, and bending, as well as other common fabrication methods. As work hardening occurs rapidly in this material, annealing in the process may prove necessary to restore ductility and to reduce hardness.
Corrosion Resistance
Among stainless steels, type 304 is widely regarded as the most common austenitic stainless steel. The alloy contains approximately 18 to 20 percent chromium and between 8 and 10.5 percent nickel by weight. As 304 stainless steel is a material that contains a high amount of chromium and nickel, it is excellent when it comes to resistance to corrosion in a wide variety of environments and when being in contact with different types of hazardous substances
Heat Treatment
A rapid cooling procedure is conducted after annealing at 1065 – 1120°C to prevent chromium carbides from precipitating. Type 304 stainless steel cannot be hardened by heat treatment in any way. This material can only be hardened by cold working.
Formability Of 304 Stainless Steel Strip
In terms of forming and drawing, types 304 stainless steel are very easy to work with. In severe forming applications involving multi-draw operations or complex shapes, Type 304 with higher nickel content is well suited. The reason for this is that it has a lower hardening rate and a lower strength.
