TECHNICAL GUIDE
Difference Between Stainless Steel 304 and 304L
Grade 304L is the low-carbon version of grade 304. Its lower carbon content can reduce the risk of carbide precipitation caused by heat input, particularly during welding. For this reason, 304L may be a more suitable option for certain welded applications. Final selection depends on fabrication conditions and the technical requirements of the project.
