Tipo 304 is a type of stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance and good formability. It is an austenitic stainless steel, which means it has a face-centered cubic structure that provides strength and durability. This alloy typically contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including kitchen equipment, food processing, and chemical containers. Due to its non-reactive nature, Tipo 304 is often used in environments where hygiene is crucial, such as in the food and beverage industry. Its ability to withstand high temperatures and resist oxidation also makes it a popular choice for architectural applications and various industrial processes.
