Differences between #StainlessSteel304 and 316

 Both stainless steel 304 and stainless steel 316 belong to 18Cr-9Ni, which are typical representative of austenitic stainless steel Cr-Ni 18-8. Stainless steel 316 rise Ni content, reducing Cr content and adding 2 % to 3% Mo(molybdenum). 

Stainless steel 316(or 06cr17ni12mo2) added Mo, so its corrosion resistance in high temperature is very good. It can be used in critical conditions and has excellent work hardening (no-magnetic). Stainless steel 316 is commonly used in water equipment, chemical, dyestuff, papermaking, oxalic acid, fertilizer, food, industrial equipment, vessel, pipeline, and coastal areas. http://www.zcmim.com/
