Brand: Fisher
Fisher 304 is a type of stainless steel alloy commonly used in laboratory equipment and applications due to its excellent corrosion resistance and hygienic properties. It is composed of 18% chromium, 8% nickel, and traces of other elements such as carbon, manganese, and nitrogen. The high chromium content ensures the formation of a dense and durable passive oxide layer on the surface of the steel, which provides excellent protection against corrosion by acids, alkalis, and other aggressive chemical environments. Additionally, the nickel content improves the strength and ductility of the steel, making it more resistant to deformation and bending under pressure. Fisher 304 stainless steel is also easy to clean and sanitize, making it a preferred choice for applications in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries where hygiene and purity are critical.
