Winsco Metal's 304 and 316 stainless steel sheets are two kinds of stainless steel sheet products made of different materials, and they have certain differences in chemical composition, mechanical properties and application fields.
1. The difference in chemical composition: The main chemical composition of Winsco Metal 304 stainless steel sheet is 18% to 20% chromium, 8% to 10.5% nickel and a small amount of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur. The main chemical composition of Winsco Metal 316 stainless steel sheet is 18% to 20% chromium, 10% to 14% nickel and 2% to 3% molybdenum, a small amount of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur, etc.
2. The difference in mechanical properties: Winsco Metal 316 stainless steel sheet has better mechanical properties than Winsco Metal 304 stainless steel sheet. It has higher strength and hardness, and has good plasticity and machinability.
3. The difference in corrosion resistance: Winsco Metal 316 stainless steel sheet is better in corrosion resistance than Winsco Metal 304 stainless steel sheet, and it is more suitable for harsher corrosive environments.
4. Temperature range: Winsco Metal 316 stainless steel sheet has better high temperature resistance than Winsco Metal 304 stainless steel sheet. In high temperature environment, Winsco Metal 316 stainless steel sheet can maintain better performance, and it is not easy to deform, oxidize and other problems.
5. Processing performance: Winsco Metal 316 stainless steel sheet has higher strength and hardness than Winsco Metal 304 stainless steel sheet, but the processing performance is relatively poor, and more professional processing technology is required.
6. Differences in application fields: Winsco Metal 304 stainless steel sheets are widely used in food processing, medical, chemical, marine engineering and other fields, while Winsco Metal 316 stainless steel sheets are more suitable for some high-end applications, such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, marine environment wait.
