Stainless Steel T-304 is the most widely used and available stainless steel in the industry and can be manufactured in the most variety of meshes. T-304 SS has excellent abrasive resistance, allowing usage in a wide range of environment and applications. Additionally, type 304 SS has good heat resistance, displaying great oxidation resistance to temperatures of up to approximately 1,600°F for short periods of time, and up to 1700°F for extended time periods. This material is excellent for fabrication uses, it can be easily transformed and cut to specific shapes and sizes making it an ideal filtration material. It's also is considered the most cost effective.
