304 what's the difference between stainless steel and 316?
316 contains Mo, 304 does not contain. The function of Mo is to prevent embrittlement of steel by the agent of carbonation.316 and 304 chromium, like nickel, higher than 304, better corrosion resistance. General 316 for the Navy steel, used in the sea more.
316 stainless steel, 18Cr-12Ni-2.5Mo add Mo, so its corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature strength is very good, can be used in severe conditions; work hardening and (non magnetic)
304 stainless steel is a versatile stainless steel material. High temperature resistance is also good, the general use of temperature limit is less than 650 degrees centigrade. 304 stainless steel has excellent stainless steel corrosion resistance and better intergranular corrosion resistance.
