How does the composition of 304 stainless steel round bar contribute to its corrosion resistance?
a combination of its versatility and high-quality mechanical properties, resistance to corrosion, and ease of production, the round bar made of 304 stainless steel is commonly used. It is an austenitic stainless steel, which means that iron, chromium, and nickel make up the majority of its chemical composition. Standard 304 stainless steel includes between 18 and 20% chromium and between 8% and 10% nickel. Due to the high chromium concentration in 304 stainless steel, surface chromium oxide (Cr2O3) is generated.
