The nozzle seat on our laser head is stainless. The title block only says stainless steel. Is 304 enough?

304 is the common seat when the drawing only needs corrosion resistance. If you need 316, write 316. We cut the grade on the drawing.

A title block that says stainless is not a grade. Add the number before you ask for a firm quote.

The seat fit and the face that touches the nozzle still need a tolerance. The grade does not define the fit.
