ASTM A240 304L SS Hot Rolled Plate

If you are looking for a low-carbon stainless steel hot rolled plate with excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, GNEE's ASTM A240 304L stainless steel hot rolled plate is a strong candidate. Manufactured in accordance with the ASTM A240 standard, it features a carbon content strictly controlled below 0.03%, minimizing the risk of sensitization in the heat-affected zone during welding-especially ideal for projects requiring extensive joining. Available in thicknesses from 3.0 to 30mm, it is suitable for direct use in the fabrication of storage tanks, pipelines, and structural components. Each batch comes with an SGS inspection report and fast delivery service.

 

Product Description

GNEE's ASTM A240 304L stainless steel plate is a low-carbon (≤0.03%) austenitic stainless steel that meets both ASTM and ASME SA240 standards. It is manufactured using a hot rolling process above 1100°C, resulting in a coarse yet tough microstructure, excellent thickness tolerance in heavy plates, and superior mill finish. With outstanding formability and weldability, it requires no post-weld annealing and supports large-width custom orders ranging from 1219 mm to 2438 mm.

As the low-carbon version of 304 stainless steel, annealed 304L stainless steel plate offers excellent corrosion resistance, improved weldability, and high structural integrity. It is certified to ISO 9001 and EN 10204 3.1 standards, with one-stop support from size customization to technical consultation. Its fully traceable supply chain-from raw material to final delivery-makes it a popular choice in construction, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and various industrial equipment applications.

FAQ
1.How does 304L compare to 304 and 316?
304L vs 304: 304L has lower carbon, better weldability, slightly lower strength
304L vs 316: 316 has added molybdenum for better chloride resistance, often used in marine environments

2.Does ASTM A240 require mill test certificates?
Yes, ASTM A240 requires a mill test certificate (MTC) that verifies chemical composition and mechanical properties according to the standard. Always ask your supplier for full documentation.

3.Is ASTM A240 304L compliant with EN and JIS standards?
Yes. ASTM A240 304L is broadly equivalent to:
EN 1.4307 / X2CrNi18-9
JIS SUS304L
