304 stainless steel is the most common austenitic stainless steel grade.

304 stainless contains a higher


chromium and lower carbon content than other variations of type 302. It can be used in an "as welded"
condition, while 302 must be annealed. 304 is used in a variety of household and industrial applications,
especially fasteners and food processing equipment.
