SUS304 and 316 stainless steel are two common stainless steel materials, with the main difference being their composition and performance characteristics. SUS304 contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, while 316 has 2% more molybdenum, making it more corrosion-resistant, especially with good performance against chloride corrosion.
304 stainless steel is suitable for general environments and has a relatively low price, while 316 stainless steel is more common in situations that require higher corrosion resistance, such as marine environments or chemical equipment.
316 stainless steel has better wear resistance and tensile strength, making it suitable for applications that require higher strength. However, due to higher costs, 304 may be chosen as an economical alternative in some cases.
In the fields of food processing, medical equipment, etc., 316 stainless steel is more favored because it is more hygienic and has stronger corrosion resistance. Overall, the choice between 304 or 316 depends on the specific usage environment, requirements, and budget considerations.
