Stainless grade 304LV is the low-carbon variant of 304V, making it less susceptible to sensitization and more corrosion resistant when worked to high temperatures. This is Vacuum Arc Remelted (VAR), which produces a more uniform chemistry with minimal voids and contaminants.

The "L" refers to low carbon, so this would have less carbon than the 304V.

Specifications:
