What is 304 stainless steel sheet (4x8)?
4x8 304 stainless steel sheet refers to flat metal sheets measuring 4 feet (1220 mm) in width and 8 feet (2438 mm) in length, made from AISI grade 304 austenitic stainless steel.
This grade belongs to the 18/8 series-containing approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, offering excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance. The 4x8 size is widely used because it conforms to standard manufacturing, construction, and shipping dimensions.
