Stainless Steel 304L Sheet: manufacturer, stockist and exporter in Mumbai, India

Sheet is the thinner flat product, supplied cut to size in a stated surface finish, and heavier gauges are sold as plate to the same standard and range. SS 304L sheet and plate are used for fabricated panels, equipment housings, tank shells and process equipment, where the finish and flatness matter as much as the grade. SS 304L (UNS S30403, EN 1.4307) is the low-carbon version of 304, with 0.030 percent carbon at most. The lower carbon keeps chromium carbides from forming at the grain boundaries when thick sections are welded, so it keeps its corrosion resistance in the as-welded condition without a post-weld anneal.

Rajgranth Metal & Alloys lists SS 304L among the grades it supplies and exports from Mumbai.

Limits are those of the standard named in the table caption. Product-specific standards for pipe, tube and bar carry their own limits, so always confirm the composition on the mill test certificate supplied with the material.

The published size range, finishes and conditions for sheet are set out on the sheet & plate pages, which list every dimension we publish. Sizes outside the range can be produced to order; send the dimensions with your enquiry.

SS 304L sheet is commonly specified to ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240 and ASTM A480. Commonly specified product standards. Confirm the standard, edition and any supplementary requirements on your order; we supply to the standard you name.

Suits welded tanks, pipe and vessels

• Welded pipe and tube for process lines
• Tanks and vessels in food and chemical plants
• Heat-exchanger shells
• Pharmaceutical equipment in mild service
• Thick-section welded fabrication

• Thickness in mm and sheet size, with width of 1000, 1219, 1500 or 2000 mm published
• Surface finish: 2B, BA, No. 4, hairline, mirror, matt or chequered
• Protective film on one side or both, for polished finishes
• Quantity in sheets or kilograms
• The standard and the test certificate required
• Whether sheets are to be cut to size

On SS 304L sheet, look at flatness and surface in good light and at an angle, because finish defects on polished sheet show only that way. Check thickness against the order, and the heat number against the certificate. If the sheet will be formed or welded, tell us the process so we can say whether the grade and temper suit it. Grade limits to design around: slightly lower strength than 304 and shares 304's weakness in chloride environments.

SS 304L sheet is exported from Mumbai to 18 confirmed markets, quoted with the Incoterm and named port.

Buyers who look at SS 304L sheet usually also compare SS 304 and SS 316L. The grade pages below give each one's designations, properties and limits side by side so you can choose for the service rather than the price alone.
