What is the difference between SUS304 VS SUS316

SUS304 and SUS316 are common stainless steel materials with significant differences in chemical composition and properties. Firstly, SUS304 is mainly composed of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, while SUS316 contains 16% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum. This makes SUS316 have higher corrosion resistance, especially stronger resistance to chloride media.

Secondly, compared to SUS304, SUS316 performs better in high temperature and corrosive environments. This makes SUS316 widely used in marine environments, chemical industries, and medical device manufacturing where high corrosion resistance is required. In contrast, SUS304 is suitable for use in general environments, such as building structures, kitchen utensils, and other fields.

In summary, the choice between using SUS304 or SUS316 depends on the specific application requirements. If higher corrosion resistance is required, especially in the case of chloride corrosion, SUS316 will be a better choice; For general applications, SUS304 usually meets the basic requirements.
