304 stainless steel strip with grade, thickness, slit width, edge condition and winding requirements reviewed together.
Grades 304
MATERIAL, CONFIGURED FOR YOU
Start with your specification.
Prepare a 304 strip inquiry around the material's next operation. State the required standard, thickness and finished width, then define the edge condition and winding geometry that your production line needs.
Width tolerance, burr limits and camber should be specified with the measurement method and acceptance criteria. Published slitting ranges describe individual processing routes; the exact material and dimension combination is reviewed before order confirmation.

Grade references & product scope
EN 10028-7

Room-temperature mechanical properties
Rp0.2 is 0.2% proof strength; Rm is tensile strength; A is elongation. The delivery condition, product form, thickness and specimen basis belong to the value. Rows identify the reference specification or manufacturer summary and its qualifications; values are not design allowables.

Reference editions & ordering conditions
ASTM A240 covers flat products; EN 10028-7 is for pressure-purpose flat products. JIS G4305 and GB/T 3280 cover cold-rolled flat products. Their cold-rolled values must not be used as acceptance limits for hot-rolled plate, bars or profiles. Confirm the standard edition and all supplementary requirements in the purchase order and mill test certificate.
EN 10028-7 — 2016 (DIN EN10028-7:2016-10 current, checked2026-09-09)
Chemical values are cast-analysis mass percentages. A dash/omitted element means no limit stated in the selected table, never zero content. Cross-standard grade names are comparison references, not automatic equivalence or proof of Sheye certification.
Common 304-family EN reference; cross-standard certification must be checked by heat. The elongation rule for stretcher-levelled C/H material requires Table9 footnote g review.
Chemistry is heat-analysis mass percent. Omitted elements have no requirement in the cited row, not zero. A480/A480M governs product-analysis tolerances and general requirements. Mechanical values use the printed SI column. ASTM regards SI and inch-pound systems as independent: do not convert ksi to generate an SI acceptance limit. Room-temperature Table 2 reference properties. Confirm delivery heat treatment, specimen preparation, dimensional tolerances and all general requirements against the contractual A480/A480M edition. Yield is based on 0.2% offset; a 0.5% total-extension-under-load alternative is permitted unless otherwise specified. Elongation gauge length is 50 mm or 2 in. HBW and the specified Rockwell scale are alternative permissible methods; thin-gauge superficial hardness provisions apply. The full 2026 numerical tables were not available for verification. Display the reference edition and confirm the contractual edition and certificate before accepting an order.
ASTM20a specifies Ni8.0–11.0%; do not substitute a JIS band or a narrower mill target.

JSA confirms the 2021 edition remains valid and was reaffirmed on 20 October 2025. Full purchased normative tables and all footnotes were not available for a complete current-edition audit. Listed chemistry is mass percent from primary JIS-grade summaries, not typical mill analysis. Missing cells mean not reproduced or not verified, not zero. Mechanical limits apply to the stated annealed/solution-treated cold-rolled condition at room temperature. Sampling, gauge length, direction, thickness-related rules and acceptance methods require the contractual standard. Corresponding designations are comparisons, not unconditional equivalence or proof that every supplied heat meets all listed standards.
Chemistry is the JSSA published JIS grade limit summary, mass %. An omitted element is not a zero-content requirement. Reference grade comparison only; certification to one standard does not automatically establish compliance with another.
Chemistry is heat analysis, mass %. The GB designation is a related reference, not automatic cross-standard certification. For thickness below 0.3 mm, elongation and hardness are reference values only. A50 is used at thickness ≤3 mm. Mechanical testing of re-rolling feedstock is performed when requested and specified in the contract (8.2).
State the thickness and width tolerances, edge and burr requirements, and any camber limits. Include acceptance and measurement conditions.
