sa 240 tp 304 chemical composition

What is SA 240 TP 304?

SA 240 TP 304 is an austenitic stainless steel specified under ASME SA 240 for plates, sheets, and strips used in pressure vessels and general applications. Known for its SS 304 non magnetic properties and SA 240 GR 304 density of 8.00 g/cm³, it’s ideal for plat stainless 304 and SA 240 GR 304 pipe. Gangsteel’s sa 240 gr 304 plates ensure compliance and quality.

Chemical Composition of SA 240 TP 304

The chemical composition of SA 240 TP 304, as per ASME SA 240, is tightly controlled to ensure corrosion resistance and formability. Below is the typical composition (by weight percentage):

• Chromium and Nickel: Provide excellent corrosion resistance and SS 304 non magnetic properties.
• Carbon: Limited to ≤0.08% to balance strength and weldability, unlike SA 240 GR 304L (≤0.03%). For low-carbon needs, see our sa 240 gr 304l.

For detailed specs, refer to our SS 304 data sheet.

Significance of the Composition

• Corrosion Resistance: High chromium (18-20%) forms a protective oxide layer, ideal for mild acids and atmospheric conditions.
• Formability: Nickel (8-10.5%) enhances ductility, making SA 240 TP 304 suitable for plat SS 304 3mm and deep drawing.
• Weldability: Moderate carbon requires careful welding to avoid sensitization, unlike SA 240 GR 304H material for high temperatures. Explore sa 240 gr 304h.

Compared to SS204 vs SS 304, 304 offers superior corrosion resistance. For chloride environments, consider sa 240 gr 316l.

Applications

SA 240 TP 304’s composition supports uses in:

• Food processing equipment (hygienic, non-tarnishing).
• Chemical tanks and SA 240 GR 304 pipe.
• Architectural panels (e.g., plate 2 mm SUS 304).
