The difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel

The difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel cannot be seen with the naked eye. Many people are at a loss when they see these figures. Let’s take a look at the difference between stainless steel 304 and 316.
 
First of all, 316 stainless steel contains Mo, which is better in corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel in high temperature environment, so in a high temperature environment, engineers generally choose 316 material parts.
 
Secondly, 316 mainly reduces the Cr content, increases the Ni content and increases Mo2%~3%. Therefore, its corrosion resistance is stronger than that of 304, and it is suitable for use in chemical, seawater and other environments. Similarly, the cost of 316 is also higher than that of 304. Generally, 316 is used in places with relatively high requirements to replace 304.
