"AISI 304 is the most common brand of austenitic steel. The letters indicate the category and characteristics of the steel. The domestic analogue is stainless steel 08Х18Н10. The first numbers indicate the percentage of carbon, and the following letters and numbers correspond to the main alloying elements.
AISI 304 steel is hardened by adding nitrogen or heat treatment in factory conditions. Alloying with titanium and carbon improves the heat resistance of steel. The significant content of nickel and chromium ensures the operational durability of the material.
