Scrap

Stainless Steel 304 Scrap

SS304 scrap is a waste material created during the machining of 304 stainless steel components. It's made up of small metal pieces, shavings, or chips. SS304 scrap is valuable because of its high-quality properties and potential for recycling. It can be melted down and reused to make new stainless steel products. Recycling SS304 scrap helps conserve resources and energy, and it contributes to sustainability efforts. SS304 stainless steel is also known as 18/8 stainless steel because it's made up of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It's a versatile and widely used stainless steel with many applications, including:

• Food handling and processing equipment
• Screws
• Machinery parts
• Utensils
• Exhaust manifolds
• Exterior accents in architecture

SS304 stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of fabrication. Its chromium content creates a protective oxide layer on the surface that repels rust and corrosion.
