The reason for choosing stainless steel is normally due to advantages given by physical properties such as corrosion resistance.
In addition to corrosion resistance, the advantageous physical properties of stainless steel include:
High and low temperature resistance
Ease of fabrication
High Strength
Aesthetic appeal
Hygiene and ease of cleaning
Long life cycle
Recyclable
Low magnetic permeability

Why Would You Want to Use 304L, Then?
One of the main reasons why people choose to use stainless steel is because of its advantages and physical properties, the most popular is its corrosion resistance although there are many more.
The fact that it has such a resistance to high and low temperatures means that stainless steel can be used for a number of applications and throughout a number of industries. Whilst some stainless steel will retain high strength at high temperatures other stainless steels will actually maintain high mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures.
A major reason that stainless steel is used is because of its sheer strength. This has been proven through its use in the building and construction industry. The aesthetic appeal which stainless steel has makes it a popular choice for many. Stainless steel is available in a range of surface finishes and the fact that it can also be polished makes it aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Its long life cycle makes it perfect for use in buildings and puts it ahead of other products in the fact that it will outlast many of them. When you add in that stainless steel is easy to maintain and put these reasons together overall it is the lowest cost choice for many in a life cycle cost comparison.
As it is an environmentally friendly material because it is 100% recyclable any new stainless steel normally contains around 50-80% recycled material. Stainless steel is undoubtedly a valuable material which has many uses within a whole range of industries and without it we would have to use other materials which wouldn’t be as effective.
