304 stainless steel and 304L stainless steel: characteristics and application
In the family of stainless steel, 304 stainless steel and 304L stainless steel are two very common and widely used stainless steels. They have some differences in composition, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This article will detail the characteristics of these two types of stainless steel, application areas and comparison with other types of stainless steel, and finally will discuss the use of 304 stainless steel and 304L stainless steel recommendations and precautions.

Chemical and petrochemical industries bring opportunities for stainless steel development
After several years of weakness, the chemical and petrochemical industries are beginning to recover, especially in the United States and the Middle East, where raw materials are relatively cheap. In terms of 316L stainless steel and corrosion-resistant alloys, highly corrosive chemicals, biofuels and fertilizers are its main growth areas.

Cutting of high-performance austenitic stainless steels-water jet, plasma and laser cutting
Water jet cutting is the use of nozzles to generate high-pressure water jets carrying fine abrasive particles for cutting. This method is very effective for cutting both metallic and non-metallic materials. The process uses large-capacity pumps, and the demand for water and electricity is very large. This method can cut stainless steel (>100mm thick gauge) without creating a heat affected zone (HAZ) and without changing the metallurgical structure of the austenitic stainless steel workpiece. Although the water jet cut quality is good, but when the cutting section is thick, the groove angle of the cutting surface is larger. Cutting the stainless steel sheet by this method is not economical, but by stacking a plurality of austenitic stainless steel sheets, a plurality of stainless steel workpieces can be cut at a time.
