Approved quality, compact design, corrosion resistance, robust construction, ease of maintenance, and sturdiness are just a few of the attributes that make SS 304 such a popular product. It also has a number of other benefits, including high tensile strength, ductility, toughness under severe loads, and a non-corrosive construction. In intermittent service to 870 degrees C, and in continuous service to 925 degrees C, SS 304 perforated shims offer good oxidation resistance. The 304 stainless steel shim is resistant to potable water up to about 200 mg/L chlorides at ambient temperatures and is excellent in a wide range of atmospheric situations and various corrosive media.
