Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key differences between AISI 304, 304L, and 304H stainless steel?
The main differences lie in carbon content. 304 offers balanced properties, 304L enhances weldability, and 304H provides superior high-temperature strength.
Can AISI 304L be used in marine condenser applications?
Yes, though AISI 316 is preferred for highly aggressive marine environments due to superior chloride resistance.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
AISI 304 withstands up to 870°C (1598°F) intermittently, while 304H handles higher temperatures for power plant applications.
