304 insimbi engagqwali ipayipi njengensimbi engagqwali ukumelana nokushisa isetshenziswa emishinini yokudla, amathuluzi ajwayelekile amakhemikhali, kanye nemishini yemboni yamandla e-athomu.
Ukumelana nokugqwala kwensimbi engagqwali engu-304 kunamandla kunochungechunge lwensimbi engagqwali engama-200. Ukumelana nokushisa okuphezulu nakho kuhle kakhulu, kufika ku-1000-1200 degrees. I-304 insimbi engagqwali inokumelana nokugqwala okuhle kakhulu nokumelana okuhle nokugqwala kwe-inter granular.
I-304 insimbi engagqwali inokumelana nokugqwala okuqinile ku-nitric acid ngaphansi kwezinga lokushisa elibilayo elinokugxila kuka-≤65%. Futhi inokumelana nokugqwala okuhle kwezixazululo ze-alkaline kanye nama-acid amaningi e-organic kanye ne-inorganic. Insimbi enengxubevange ephezulu ekwazi ukumelana nokugqwala emoyeni noma emithonjeni yamakhemikhali egqwalayo. Insimbi engagqwali inobuso obuhle nokumelana nokugqwala okuhle. Ayidingi ukwelashwa okungaphezulu okufana ne-color plating, kodwa kunalokho isebenzisa izici zemvelo zensimbi engagqwali. Isetshenziswa ohlotsheni oluningi luka-A lwensimbi, oluvame ukubizwa ngokuthi insimbi engagqwali. Ukusebenza kommeleli kuyinsimbi ephezulu ye-alloy efana ne-13 chrome steel kanye ne-18-8 chrome nickel steel.
