SS304 1.4301
SS304 is presented here as X5CrNi18-10 (1.4301) under EN 10088-2. Stainless steel sheet, plate and strip for general purposes.
Data edition: EN 10088-2:2005, Tables 3, 4, 10 and 11. Duplex 2205 and Duplex S31803 both use EN 1.4462 here. For narrow strip tested longitudinally, the austenitic minimum Rp0.2 is 15 MPa lower; A80 is 5 percentage points lower and A is 2 points lower. Stretcher-levelled 1.4301 has elongation minima 5 points lower. The 1% proof values in this edition are informative. Special sulphur ranges in Table 3 footnote b apply to machining or welding supply conditions.

Room-temperature properties. Rp0.2 and Rp1.0 are minimum proof strengths; Rm is tensile strength. A80 applies below 3 mm thickness; A applies from 3 mm using a proportional gauge length of 5.65√S₀. +AT = solution annealed; +A = annealed; +RA = recrystallization annealed; +P = precipitation hardened. Strength is in MPa (N/mm²).
