SS 304 Non-Magnetic Sheet: Gangsteel Stainless Solution in China

Introduction to SS 304 Non-Magnetic Sheets

SS 304 non-magnetic sheets are austenitic stainless steel products known for their non-magnetic properties, making them ideal for applications in electronics, medical equipment, and environments sensitive to magnetic interference. These sheets offer excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and durability, compliant with ASME SA240 standards.

Gangsteel, a top manufacturer and exporter in China, specializes in SS 304 non-magnetic sheets, providing customized solutions for global clients. As a trusted supplier of ASME SA240 stainless steel plates,

Gangsteel ensures high-quality production with various surface finishes like 2B, BA, No.1, No.4, HL, and mirror polish, and standard specifications including thicknesses from 0.3mm to 100mm, widths of 1000mm to 2000mm, and lengths from 2000mm to 6000mm. This article explores the features, applications, and benefits of SS 304 non-magnetic sheets

What is SS 304 Non-Magnetic Sheet?

SS 304 is an austenitic stainless steel grade that remains non-magnetic in its annealed state due to its stable austenite structure, which does not exhibit ferromagnetic properties. This makes it suitable for applications where magnetic fields could interfere with operations, such as MRI machines or electronic devices. The material contains 18–20% chromium and 8–10.5% nickel, providing robust corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

Gangsteel’s SA240 Gr 304 non-magnetic sheets are produced under ASTM A240 stainless plate guidelines, ensuring low magnetic permeability (typically <1.02 μ) for sensitive environments.

Chemical Composition of SS 304 Non-Magnetic Sheet

The chemical composition of SS 304 is specified by ASME SA240 to maintain its non-magnetic characteristics and corrosion resistance. The table below details the elements:

Gangsteel ensures precise composition for SS 304 sheets, supporting JIS G 4304 stainless steel plate standards.

Mechanical Properties of SS 304 Non-Magnetic Sheet

SS 304 non-magnetic sheets provide balanced mechanical properties for fabrication and use in sensitive applications. The table below summarizes these as per ASME SA240:

These properties ensure SS 304 sheets outperform alternatives like SA240 Gr 201 in non-magnetic scenarios.

Equivalent Materials for SS 304 Non-Magnetic Sheet

SS 304 has international equivalents that share similar non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant traits. The table below lists common equivalents:

Gangsteel’s SS 304 sheets align with these equivalents, facilitating ASTM A 959 stainless steel plates integration.

Applications of SS 304 Non-Magnetic Sheets

SS 304 non-magnetic sheets are essential in industries avoiding magnetic interference. The table below highlights applications:

Gangsteel’s ASME SA 213/SA 213M stainless pipes enhance compatibility with these sheets.

Weight Calculation for SS 304 Non-Magnetic Sheets

The density of SS 304 is 7.93 g/cm³ (7930 kg/m³). To calculate sheet weight:

Weight (kg) = Density (kg/m³) × Volume (m³)
Volume (m³) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Thickness (m)

Example:

• Sheet: 2.5 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, 2 mm (0.002 meters) thick.
• Volume = 2.5 × 1.2 × 0.002 = 0.006 m³.
• Weight = 7930 kg/m³ × 0.006 m³ ≈ 47.6 kg.

This aids planning for SA240 Gr 304 or equivalents like SA240 Gr 310S.
