The difference between 316 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel

Today, I will introduce you to 304 and 316 stainless steel, but what is the difference?

1.304 stainless steel

First of all, our family uses pots and pans, as well as water cups and tableware for daily drinking. 304 stainless steel, which is also a food device, is widely used.The daily food design is also exposed to more acid and alkali. The biggest advantage of 304 stainless steel is acid and alkali resistance, high density and no bubbles.

2. 316 stainless steel

316 stainless steel uses a little extravagant food equipment, but its function is better than 304, generally mainly in medical, food, machinery, oil, etc.Moreover, 316 stainless steel is commonly used in the parts of some mechanical equipment, or it is more common to produce some barrels and weapons.

316 stainless steel contains molybdenum (Mo), which is more corrosive than 304 stainless steel. Generally, in high temperature environment, mechanical engineers use 316 material to make parts.

316 stainless steel mainly reduces chromium (Cr) content to increase nickel (Ni), and increases Mo2% to 3%, so if it is not an engineer, not a manufacturer to manufacture parts and equipment, the 304 is commonly used in our life.

Our products are made of 304 stainless steel, you can rest assured purchase
