Uhlobo Olungenasici 304ingenye yezinhlobo zensimbi engagqwali ezisebenziseka kakhulu futhi ezisetshenziswa kakhulu. Iyi-alloy ye-Chromium-Nickel austenitic equkethe okungenani i-18% ye-Chromium kanye ne-8% ye-Nickel ene-Carbon engu-0.08% ephezulu. Ayikwazi ukuqina ngokwelashwa ngokushisa kodwa ukusebenza ngokubandayo kungakhiqiza amandla aphezulu okudonswa. I-alloy ye-Chromium kanye ne-Nickel inikeza uhlobo lwe-304 ngokumelana nokugqwala kanye nokushiswa kwe-oxidation okuphakeme kakhulu kunensimbi noma insimbi. Inokuqukethwe okuphansi kwekhabhoni kune-302 okwenza ikwazi ukunciphisa imvula ye-chromium carbide ngenxa yokushiswa kanye nokugqwala kwe-intergranular. Inezici ezinhle kakhulu zokwakheka kanye nokushiswa.

Uhlobo lwe-304 lunamandla okuqina aphezulu angu-51,500 psi, amandla okukhiqiza angu-20,500 psi kanye nokwelulwa okungu-40% ku-2”. Uhlobo lwensimbi engagqwali 304 luza ngobukhulu obuhlukahlukene kanye nezimo ezifaka phakathi ibha, i-engeli, ama-round, ipuleti, isiteshi kanye nemishayo. Le nsimbi isetshenziswa ezimbonini eziningi ngezinhloso eziningi ezahlukene. Ezinye izibonelo imishini yokucubungula ukudla, imishini yasekhishini nezinto zikagesi, amaphaneli, ama-trim, izitsha zamakhemikhali, izinamathiselo, izipilingi, njll.
