304 Stainless Aerospace Tubing
304 and 304L are austenitic alloys. These alloys are the most familiar and frequently used alloys in the stainless steel family. The L in 304L refers to a lower carbon content to allow for a greater corrosion protection when welding. Material produced to AMS-T-6845 is suitable for use in high pressure hydraulic systems.
