Rockwell MB0160‑034 - 304L Stainless Steel OEM Specification
Rockwell MB0160-034 is an OEM material spec for 304L stainless steel, which is a standard material for aerospace and industrial environments where excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties are required. It is often quoted along with some of the most important industry standards, such as AMS 5647 and AMS-QQ-S-763, for procuring certified 304L stainless steel materials.
Overview of Rockwell MB0160‑034
Rockwell MB0160-034 specifies the quality and performance requirements for the corrosion-resistant stainless steel type 304L used for the essential components. It is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing 18 to 20 percent chromium and 8 to 10.5 percent nickel, which is well known for its excellent toughness, ductility, and resistance to oxidation/corrosion.
What is 304 Stainless Steel ?
304/304H/304L stainless steels are the most commonly used austenitic stainless steels with good corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. The materials have 18 to 20 % chromium and 8 to 10.5 % nickel and are best suited for exposure to oxidation and most atmospheric environments.
