Costa-Rica Water Tank and Household Stainless Steel 304BQ

Applied in the sink industry with high surface requirements after stamping
Suitable for industries such as sinks, household appliances, and beer barrels

Category:

Costa-RicaStainless steel plate

Product Description

304BQ comprehensively adjusts the content of Cu, Si and other components on the basis of 304 steel, improves the work hardening characteristics of the material, and enhances the deep drawing performance. Annealing technology is often specially treated, mainly suitable for industries such as water tanks, household appliances, and beer barrels
