How parts in Stainless Steel 304 are priced
For machining we size the nearest standard bar or plate of Stainless Steel 304 that encloses your part and multiply its weight (density 7.93 g/cm³) by the current price per kg. Machining time scales with this material's machinability. Castings in this alloy are priced on near-net casting weight — never on bar or block stock.
