304 deep draw quality stainless steel is used for specific applications including:

  • Automotive: Fuel tanks
  • Kitchenware: Sinks and other domestic appliances
Magnetic Properties: 304 flat rolled stainless steel is generally non-magnetic and becomes slightly magnetic only when cold-worked.
Forming: 304 deep draw quality stainless steel has great forming capabilities that allow for severe drawing applications.
