3 16 stainless steel or 304 is better for food?

3 16 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel are both food-grade stainless steels, but they are slightly different in composition, properties and uses.

304 stainless steel is austenitic stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and processability and is suitable for various food processing fields.

3 16 stainless steel is martensitic stainless steel, which has higher corrosion resistance and high temperature performance, and is suitable for a wider range of food processing fields, such as medical devices and pharmaceutical machinery.

Therefore, if you need more corrosion-resistant food-grade stainless steel, you can choose 3 16 stainless steel. If the requirements for corrosion resistance and high temperature performance are not high, 304 stainless steel can be selected.
