What grade of steel is 1.4307?
The steel grade 1.4307 (also called ASTM 304/ 304L – SS2333) is a general purpose stainless steel, called 18-8-steel, with good corrosion resistant, impact strength and formability.
What material is equivalent to 1.4307?
The stainless steel grade 1.4307 is equivalent to AISI 304L and UNS S30403. It is a low-carbon version of 304 stainless steel, offering improved weldability in heavy gauge components.

Is 1.4307 stainless steel magnetic?
No, 1.4307 stainless steel (also known as 304L) is generally non-magnetic. However, it can become slightly magnetic under certain conditions, specifically after cold working or welding.
What is the difference between 1.4301 and 1.4307 stainless steel?
In summary, EN 1.4301 (AISI 304) is generally preferred when higher mechanical strength and wear resistance are required, while EN 1.4307 (AISI 304L) is a better choice for applications involving extensive welding or exposure to corrosive environments. The final choice depends on the specific needs of the application.
