Structural Materials
Title: Grade 304 Stainless Steel Sheet metal
Picture: N/A
Description: Micro alloyed steel, designed mechanical rather than compositional specs. Has to be under 6mm to be considered sheet metal. Essentially non-magnetic, becomes slightly magnetic when cold worked. 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It corrosive resistant, flexible and durable. Unfortunately it is heavy.
Advantages:
• High strength,
• resistant to atmospheric corrosion.
• Durable
• able to be cut or bent easily
• Most flexible out of all the stainless steel sheets
Disadvantages:
• costs from $200 - $800 depending on the size and quality
• Heavy
