Overview of A240 GR 304H Stainless Steel Plate

A240 GR 304H stainless steel plate is specified for chromium and chromium-nickel stainless steel products used in pressure vessels and high-temperature service. With 0.04-0.10% carbon, it enhances creep and rupture strength compared to standard 304 or 304L plate. Non-magnetic with a density of 8.00 g/cm³, it’s ideal for demanding environments. For plate-specific standards, A240 covers flat-rolled products; use SA 240 for ASME compliance. See sa240 gr 304h.

High strength at high temperatures (25.5 ksi allowable at 1000°F). See sa240 gr 304.

Physical Properties

  • Density: 8.00 g/cm³.
  • Melting Point: 1400-1450°C.
  • Thermal Conductivity: 16.2 W/m·K.
  • Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 17.2 × 10⁻⁶/K.
  • Max Service Temperature: 1500°F (815°C) continuous.

 

Corrosion Resistance

A240 GR 304H stainless steel plate resists mild acids and atmospheric conditions, outperforming SS204 vs SS 304. Higher carbon risks sensitization in welds; anneal for protection. See sa240 gr 316l for chlorides.

 

Weldability

Fair with ER308H fillers; low heat input (<2.0 kJ/mm) and annealing required. See sa240 gr 321.
