304 stainless steel belt and 316 stainless steel belt are the two most commonly used stainless steel belts among all stainless steel belt models, so what is the main difference between 304 stainless steel belt and 316 stainless steel belt?
The main difference between 304 stainless steel strip and 316 stainless steel strip is whether the steel strip contains the chemical element molybdenum. For 316 stainless steel strip, its composition contains molybdenum, while 304 stainless steel strip does not contain molybdenum element.
In addition, compared with 304 stainless steel belt, 316 stainless steel belt has better corrosion resistance in a higher temperature environment, so 316 stainless steel belt is generally selected in such an environment, but if there is concentrated sulfuric acid in the environment, It is absolutely impossible to use 316 stainless steel strip. At this time, 304 stainless steel strip should be used, because the molybdenum element in 316 stainless steel strip will react with concentrated sulfuric acid to form molybdenum disulfide, and the result is very serious.
Therefore, the main difference between 304 stainless steel strip and 316 stainless steel strip is that the chemical elements contained are different, and different types of stainless steel strips are used in different environments.
