304 Stainless Steel Coil & Sheet – General Industrial 2B Grade
Product Overview
304 stainless steel is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel grade, also known as 18/8 stainless steel for its nominal 18% chromium and 8% nickel content. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, excellent weldability and a clean, attractive appearance at a cost-effective price point. This standard 2B finish coil & sheet grade is our most versatile specification, suitable for a very wide range of industrial, commercial and domestic applications.
Why Choose CNB 304 Stainless Steel?
We source 304 stainless steel from leading Chinese mills including TISCO, Baosteel and ZPSS, ensuring consistent chemical composition, mechanical properties and surface quality. We implement strict incoming inspection over every coil, verifying composition, thickness tolerance and surface defects before delivery. With large ready stock of standard sizes and flexible custom processing capability, we can meet both bulk project orders and precision fabrication requirements efficiently.
