SPECIFICATION ASTM A554, T304
APPLICATION Used where corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties are primary requirements. These grades are widely accepted in such industries as dairy, beverage and other food products where the highest degree of sanitation and cleanliness is of prime importance. Common uses are lightweight structural applications, handrails, automobile chassis, table framing, door/window frames, etc.
