SS304 SS304L Stainless Steel Plates | Full Plate . Cut to Size

304/304L Stainless Steel Plate Supplier & Stockist in Malaysia & Singapore — Cut to Size by Bandsaw Machine

E Steel Sdn Bhd supplies SS304 / SS304L stainless steel plates from ready stock in Klang, Selangor to whole Malaysia and weekly truck to Singapore too. 

Known internationally as SUS304 (JIS), AISI 304, UNS S30400, DIN 1.4301, and 18/8 stainless steel, Grade 304 is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel in the world.
We stock full plates in a wide range of thicknesses up to 150mm, and we don't only supply standard full plates but we offer precision bandsaw cut-to-size service too.
No minimum order required.

Whether you search for SS304, SUS304, AISI 304, EN 1.4301, DIN 1.4301, UNS S30400, or X5CrNi18-10 — they are all the same material family.
We supply them, along with the low-carbon 304L variant for welded and corrosion-critical applications.

 

What Is 304 / 304L Stainless Steel Plate?

304 is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel grade in the world — the standard "18/8" chromium-nickel alloy, offering an excellent balance of corrosion resistance, formability, weldability, and cost. It's the default choice across food processing, architectural, general fabrication, and light industrial applications wherever aggressive chloride exposure isn't a primary concern.

304L is the low-carbon variant (max 0.03% carbon vs 0.08% in standard 304), making it the preferred choice for welded components where sensitisation and intergranular corrosion at the heat-affected zone must be avoided. Both grades are commonly stocked and sold as 304/304L dual-certified plates, meaning the material meets both specifications simultaneously.

304 vs 316 — Which One Do You Need?

  • SS304/SS304L — the standard, cost-effective choice for general fabrication, food-grade, and architectural use in mild-to-moderate environments
  • SS316/SS316L — molybdenum addition gives superior resistance to chlorides and marine/chemical exposure, at a higher cost — worth asking us about if your environment involves salts, acids, or coastal exposure

Not Just Full Plates But We Supply Bandsaw Cut-to-Size Too

E Steel supplies both full plate and bandsaw cut-to-size, down to the exact dimensions on your cutting list from our ready stock inventory thicknesses up to 150mm.
We operate multiple bandsaw cutting machines at our Klang warehouse, dedicated to cold-cutting stainless steel plates. Bandsaw cutting is our preferred method which recommending to customers because it delivers:

  • ✅ Clean, burr-minimal cut surface : ready for machining or direct use
  • ✅ No heat-affected zone (HAZ) : the cut stays cold, so the material's corrosion resistance and mechanical properties near the edge are preserved
  • ✅ No surface discoloration or oxide scale : unlike thermal cutting methods
  • ✅ Nicer, straighter cutting surface : often no second facing process needed before CNC machining
  • ✅ Efficient and fast : quick turnaround even for complex multi-piece cutting lists
  • ✅ No minimum order quantity : from a single cut piece to a full cutting list
     

Bandsaw Cutting vs Plasma / Laser Cutting for Stainless Steel Plates

A common question from customers: "Why not just plasma or laser cut my SS304 plate?" 
Thermal cutting methods (plasma and laser) are fast for carbon steel, but for stainless steel and especially 304/304L used in food-grade, architectural, or precision fabrication applications — bandsaw (cold) cutting is generally the better choice.

Factor Bandsaw Cutting (Cold Cut) Plasma / Laser Cutting (Thermal Cut)
Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) None — material stays cold throughout the cut Present — heat can alter grain structure and corrosion resistance near the cut edge
Corrosion Resistance at Edge Preserved — no sensitisation risk Can be compromised, especially critical for 304L welded applications
Cut Surface Finish Clean, straight, minimal burr Dross, discoloration, oxide scale often present, needing secondary cleaning
Post-Processing Needed Usually ready for CNC machining directly Often requires grinding/deburring/passivation before use
Precision on Thick Plates Consistent accuracy even at thk150mm Heat distortion/warping risk increases with thickness
Suitability for Critical Industries Preferred for food-grade, architectural, and precision fabrication Higher risk of contamination or edge integrity issues for these industries
Cost for Small Quantities Economical, no minimum order Can be cost-effective for very thin sheet in high volume

In short: Plasma and laser cutting introduce heat, which can create a heat-affected zone that compromises the very corrosion resistance customers choose stainless steel — and specifically 304/304L — for in the first place. Bandsaw cold-cutting avoids this entirely, which is why we recommend it as the default method for stainless steel plate, particularly for thicker sections and critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions for SS304 SS304L Stainless Steel Plates | Full Plate . Cut to Size

Q: Is SUS304 the same as SS304 and AISI 304?
Yes. SUS304 is the Japanese JIS designation, SS304 is a common trade abbreviation, and AISI 304 is the American standard.

They all refer to the same 18/8 austenitic stainless steel grade.
They are equivalent grades. EN 1.4301 (also written as DIN 1.4301 or X5CrNi18-10) is the European designation for AISI 304.

The chemical composition and mechanical properties are essentially the same.
UNS (Unified Numbering System) is the American cross-reference numbering system.

S30400 = AISI 304, S30403 = AISI 304L. If your drawing calls for S30400 or S30403, we can supply it with the correct MTC.
Yes. We offer bandsaw cut to size service for all thicknesses. Send us your cutting list (dimensions and quantity) and we will provide a quotation.
Yes. We regularly supply stainless steel plates to customers in Singapore via freight forwarding.



Not only Singapore, we export to ASIA Countries too. 
There is no strict minimum order quantity. We supply from a single cut piece to full plates and bulk orders.
Yes. All our plates come with 3.1 MTCs traceable to the original mill, compliant with EN 10204.
Our standard stock is No.1 finish.  This is the most common finish for engineering and industrial applications.
We promoting Bandsaw Cutting for stainless steel plates with the capacity of minimum cutting size thickness 6mm or above.  Reason of choosing bandsaw cutting is because bandsaw cutting provide clean cutting on surface, and does not create heat damaged zone on the cutting surface. 

Which is suitable for semi-conductor industry, medical, etc.
