Easy-to-Machine Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel
When compared to standard 304 stainless steel, this material can be machined faster with less wear on cutting tools. From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
304/304L stainless steel contains less carbon than standard 304 for better weldability.
Rods are also called Project 70+.
