304 Stainless Steel is one of the most widely used grades of Stainless Steel. An Austenitic Steel that is generally composed of Chromium, Nickel, and Manganese, Condition B Stainless Steel is nonmagnetic and has excellent corrosion resistance, but is susceptible to stress- corrosion cracking.

Wieland Diversified offers a strain-hardened variant 304 Condition B Stainless Steel that is hardened by cold working. Stainless 304 is non-heat-treatable.

For projects that require higher strength than annealed 304, Stainless Steel B 304 offers a strain-hardened option that supports demanding bolting requirements. Cold working changes the material’s mechanical properties without relying on heat treatment, making condition and specification especially important. ASTM A 193 recognizes strain-hardened austenitic stainless steel for bolting used in high-temperature, high-pressure, and other special-purpose services.

Used primarily in fastener applications, cold working elevates the tensile and yield values of Condition B Stainless Steel.

Available shapes – round, hex and square

When evaluating B 304, confirm that the requested class, dimensions, and material condition match the application requirements. These details matter because strength expectations can vary with the specified condition and product form. Stainless Steel B 304 is available in round, hex, and square shapes, giving buyers several starting points for machining or fastener production.

If your project calls for B 304, contact Wieland Diversified to discuss the requirements so that your team can move forward with the right material for the job.
