What is 304L S30403 Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate?
304L S30403 Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel plate designed for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance, good strength, and superior weldability. As a hot rolled product, it offers cost efficiency, structural stability, and versatile processing capability, making it widely used in construction, chemical, food, and general industrial projects.
Gnee supplies high-quality 304L hot rolled stainless steel plates with stable chemistry, controlled thickness tolerances, and full material traceability to meet both domestic and international project requirements.
What are the differences between 304L hot-rolled stainless steel plate and 304 stainless steel?
Compared to standard 304 stainless steel, 304L (S30403) has a lower carbon content (≤0.03%), which significantly reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for manufacturing structural components, welded parts, and pressure vessels.

Is 304L hot rolled stainless steel plate suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, 304L hot rolled stainless steel plates are suitable for outdoor use in mild to moderately corrosive environments, as their chromium content (~18–20%) provides good resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
Can 304L hot rolled plates be cut and welded easily?
Yes, 304L hot rolled plates can be easily cut and welded using common methods such as plasma cutting, laser cutting, TIG, and MIG welding, with the low carbon content (≤0.03%) reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding.
