ʻAno ʻino 304ʻo ia kekahi o nā mākau ʻoi loa a hoʻohana mau ʻia o ke kila kila.ʻO ia ka Chromium-Nickel austenitic alloy i loaʻa ka liʻiliʻi o 18% Chromium a me 8% Nickel me ka nui o 0.08% Carbon.ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻopaʻakikī ʻia e ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa wela akā hiki i ka hana anu ke hana i nā ikaika tensile kiʻekiʻe.Hāʻawi ka Chromium a me Nickel alloy i ka Type 304 me ka corrosion a me ka pale ʻana i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ke kila a i ʻole ka hao.Loaʻa iā ia ka haʻahaʻa kalapona ma mua o 302 e hiki ai iā ia ke hōʻemi i ka ua chromium carbide ma muli o ke kuʻi ʻana a me ka corrosion intergranular.Loaʻa iā ia ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me nā hiʻohiʻona wili.

He 51,500 psi ka ikaika o ka tensile type type 304, 20,500 psi a me 40% elongation ma 2".Hiki mai ke kila kila 304 i nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā ʻano like ʻole me ka bar, ke kihi, ka pōʻai, ka pā, ke kahawai a me nā beam. Hoʻohana ʻia kēia kila i nā ʻoihana he nui no nā kumu like ʻole.ʻO kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona ʻo ia nā lako hana meaʻai, nā lako kīhini a me nā mea hana, panelling, trims, nā ipu kemika, fasteners, springs, etc.
