Gangsteel is a leading manufacturer and global exporter of premium JIS G4305 SUS304 cold rolled stainless steel coils, sheets, and strips. As the most widely used austenitic stainless steel grade (Grade 304 or UNS S30400), SUS304 offers an outstanding combination of excellent corrosion resistance, superior formability, weldability, and mechanical properties, making it the "workhorse" of stainless steels for diverse industrial and consumer applications.
Our state-of-the-art cold rolling facilities produce SUS304 with high-quality surface finishes (2B, BA, No.4, HL, Mirror), precise tolerances (±0.02 mm), and consistent performance fully compliant with JIS G4305 (Cold-rolled stainless steel plate, sheet and strip). Equivalent to ASTM A240/A666 Type 304, EN 1.4301 (X5CrNi18-10), and GB 06Cr19Ni10, Gangsteel's SUS304 products serve global markets in food processing, chemical equipment, architecture, appliances, automotive, and general fabrication.
This comprehensive product introduction details every key aspect of our JIS G4305 SUS304 cold rolled stainless steel — from composition and properties (presented in tables) to manufacturing, applications, advantages, and why Gangsteel is your trusted partner for reliable, high-volume supply.
Introduction to SUS304 Stainless Steel
SUS304 is a classic 18/8 chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel, providing excellent general corrosion resistance in a wide range of atmospheric, chemical, and mildly corrosive environments. Its balanced alloying (18% Cr, 8% Ni) forms a stable passive chromium oxide layer that self-heals in oxidizing conditions, while nickel enhances ductility and low-temperature toughness.
Non-magnetic in the annealed state, SUS304 remains highly formable, weldable without post-weld annealing in most cases, and suitable for temperatures from cryogenic to ~870°C intermittent service. Gangsteel specializes in cold rolled SUS304, optimizing it for deep drawing, stamping, bending, polishing, and high-speed fabrication.
