The main difference between SS 304 and SS 316 stainless steel lies in their composition and properties. SS 304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, while SS 316 stainless steel adds 2% molybdenum on this basis, improving corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environments with better performance.
SS 316 stainless steel is commonly used in marine environments, chemical equipment, and other applications that require stronger corrosion resistance, with superior corrosion resistance and tensile strength. In contrast, SS 304 stainless steel is suitable for general environments and has a relatively low price, commonly used in fields such as construction and kitchen equipment. The choice of which stainless steel to use depends on specific application requirements, environment, and budget considerations.
