DATA SHEET AISI 304L
Brinell (HB) max. 500. >175. 40. 80-90. 150-180. END USES. AISI 304L steel is the same as AISI 304, however with less Carbon content, where the "L" in the name stands for "Low carbon". The lesser quantity of Carbon means this grade of stainless steel does not require annealing and therefore is widely used in very thick components (> 6 mm).
