The stainless steel 304 is the standard material of austenitic chromium-nickel steels. In the solution-annealed state, there is no risk of intercrystalline corrosion in the material 304. However, when welded and at high temperatures, AISI 304 is not save of intercrystalline corrosion. After cold forming it is slightly magnetic. The 304 stainless steel is used in household goods, wine and food processing and nitrogen chemistry applications. The widespread use is the combination of many, very favorable properties. Thus, the steel 304 in the annealed state can exhibit good deformability in terms of pressing, deep drawing and bending.
