CS Heavy Forgings manufactures custom 304L stainless-steel shafts, rollers, rings, flanges and engineered components for corrosion-resistant industrial and process-equipment applications.
304L is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel selected for general corrosion resistance and fabrication requirements. It is not simply another alloy-steel grade. The applicable ASTM, EN or customer standard, solution-treatment condition, testing and surface requirements should be defined on the purchase specification.
Review the broader steel grades for heavy forgings guide before comparing material families. Final selection remains the responsibility of the purchaser or component designer and must follow the complete drawing and specification.
Target applications
- Corrosion-resistant forged shafts
- Food and process-equipment components

Frequently asked questions
When is 304L used for a forged shaft?
304L may be specified where general corrosion resistance is more important than the properties offered by carbon or engineering alloy steels. The designer must confirm loading, environment and required mechanical properties.
What should a 304L forging RFQ include?
Include the complete stainless-steel standard, drawing, dimensions, solution-treatment condition, machining, surface finish, corrosion or PMI testing and quantity.
