Mourad Metals is a reputable manufacturer and supplier located in Tunis, Tunisia, with a focus on high-quality Stainless Steel 304 forgings. By utilizing cutting-edge forging techniques, maintaining strict quality control, and drawing on extensive industry knowledge, the company produces precision-engineered products that adhere to international standards. The Stainless Steel 304 forgings from Mourad Metals are celebrated for their outstanding corrosion resistance, durability, and excellent surface finish. Catering to a variety of industrial sectors, the company prioritizes consistent performance, timely delivery, and tailored solutions. Mourad Metals blends technical expertise with modern infrastructure to provide reliable forgings that are perfect for demanding mechanical and structural applications around the globe.
Stainless Steel 304 forgings are primarily made of iron, containing about 18–20% chromium and 8–10.5% nickel, which gives them remarkable corrosion resistance and oxidation stability. The low carbon content improves weldability and reduces carbide precipitation. In terms of mechanical properties, SS 304 forgings demonstrate good tensile strength, typically around 515 MPa, with a yield strength close to 205 MPa. They also offer high ductility, toughness, and impact resistance across a broad temperature range, along with solid hardness and fatigue resistance, making them suitable for forged components.
