                    • \n

                      304L has excellent ductility, making it easy to form, roll, and bend.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                    • \n

                      Its low carbon content (\u22640.03%) reduces sensitization during welding, maintaining strength and corrosion resistance along welded joints.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                    • \n

                      While tensile strength is slightly lower than 304 due to reduced carbon, elongation and toughness are improved.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                    • \n

                      Performs well under cyclic loading and in cryogenic conditions due to the austenitic microstructure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
