sa 240 gr 304 mechanical properties

Overview of SA 240 GR 304

SA 240 GR 304, also known as SA 240 TP 304 or 1.4301, is an austenitic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and formability. Its SS 304 non magnetic properties in the annealed state make it ideal for diverse applications. The mechanical properties, governed by ASME SA 240, ensure reliability in demanding environments. At Gangsteel, our sa 240 gr 304 plates meet global standards.

Mechanical Properties of SA 240 GR 304

The mechanical properties of SA 240 GR 304 vary slightly based on processing (e.g., annealed condition) and thickness (e.g., plat SS 304 3mm or plate 2 mm SUS 304). Below is a table summarizing typical values for annealed SA 240 GR 304 plates (8-75 mm thick) as per ASME SA 240:

*Source: ASME SA 240 and ASTM A240 standards. Values apply to annealed plates; cold-worked material may show higher strength but reduced ductility. For detailed specs, see our SS 304 data sheet.

Why These Properties Matter

The high tensile strength and elongation of SA 240 GR 304 ensure excellent formability, making it suitable for deep drawing and fabrication. Its moderate yield strength supports structural integrity, while low hardness (compared to SA 240 GR 304H material) enhances machinability. The SS 304 plate density (8.00 g/cm³) contributes to lightweight yet durable designs. Compared to SS204 vs SS 304, 304 offers superior toughness and corrosion resistance at a competitive SS 304 plate price.

Applications of SA 240 GR 304

Thanks to its robust mechanical properties, SA 240 GR 304 is used in SA 240 GR 304 pipe, tanks, and architectural panels. Its SS 304 non magnetic nature suits electronic and medical equipment. Unlike SA 240 GR 304H material, which is optimized for high temperatures, 304 excels in general-purpose applications. Gangsteel offers competitive SS 304 sheet price options for bulk orders.

Comparing with Other Grades

Compared to SA 240 GR 304L, SA 240 GR 304 has slightly higher strength but is less weldable due to higher carbon content. SA 240 GR 316 offers better pitting resistance but at a higher SS 304 steel price. For high-temperature needs, consider our sa 240 gr 304h. Gangsteel’s sa 240 gr 317l is ideal for aggressive environments.
