304 Stainless Steel for Aerospace Applications
There are many different reasons for using stainless steel in Aerospace applications. For example, 304 stainless steel has a higher tensile strength than aluminum and is highly resistant to corrosion due to the protective oxide layer, which inhibits oxidation. Some specific applications where aerospace-grade stainless steel is preferred include Engine and Exhaust Components, Landing Gear Components Key Superstructure Joints.
