SS 304and 304 refer to the same austenitic stainless steel grade, specified under ASME SA 240 and ASTM A240 for plates, sheets, and strips used in pressure vessels and general corrosive service.
Known as SA 240 GR 304, AISI 304, UNS S30400, or 1.4301, it features a density of 8.00 g/cm³ and non-magnetic properties in the annealed state. SS 304 is widely used in applications like plat stainless 304, plate 2 mm SUS 304, and SA 240 GR 304 pipe due to its excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and formability. Gangsteel’s sa 240 gr 304 plates meet these rigorous standards.
The chemical composition of SS 304, as specified by ASME SA 240 and ASTM A240, ensures excellent corrosion resistance and formability:

Cold-working (e.g., rolling) can increase tensile strength (up to 900 MPa) but reduces ductility. For high-temperature applications, explore sa 240 gr 304h.
These properties make SS 304 suitable for plat SS 304 3mm and plate 2 mm SUS 304.
SS 304 offers excellent corrosion resistance in:
It is less resistant to chloride-induced pitting compared to SS 316L (SA 240 GR 316L), which contains molybdenum. Weldability is good with ER308 or ER308L fillers, but SS 304L is preferred for critical welds to minimize sensitization risks. For chloride-heavy environments, explore sa 240 gr 316l.
SS 304 is used in:
For harsher corrosive environments, consider sa 240 gr 317l. For high-temperature applications, explore sa 240 gr 321 for titanium-stabilized performance.
As of October 15, 2025, SS 304 plate prices for 2B finish (3-6mm thick) range from $1.55-$3.50/kg globally, influenced by nickel prices (~$15,325/t). Gangsteel offers competitive pricing starting at $1.60/kg FOB (MOQ 1 ton) for standard sizes (e.g., 4’x8’, 5’x10’) and custom cuts like plate 2 mm SUS 304, with finishes like 2B, No.1, and polished. Our SS 304 plate price is 5-10% below market averages, and dual-certified SA 240 TP 304/304L plates are available for flexibility. For pricing details, contact admin@gangsteel.com.
Gangsteel provides certified SS 304 (SA 240 GR 304) plates with consistent properties and competitive SS 304 plate price. Our 600+ ton inventory supports global delivery for applications from plat stainless 304 to heavy plates.
