Adding MO to 3 16 stainless steel has better corrosion resistance and acid resistance. Widely used in medicine and industry, the price is relatively expensive. In general, 3 16 stainless steel will not be used at home.
3 16 and 304 stainless steel are not good or bad. The following two kinds of stainless steel are analyzed from three aspects:
1. Acid and alkali resistance
The acid and alkali resistance of 3 16 stainless steel is definitely better than that of 304 stainless steel, mainly because of their different composition contents. 3 16 stainless steel has high MO content and strong corrosion resistance, so 3 16 stainless steel has better corrosion resistance than ordinary stainless steel.
2. Price
The price of 304 stainless steel is lower than 3 16 stainless steel, which is a type of stainless steel that ordinary people can afford. 3 16 stainless steel can cost twice as much as 304 stainless steel because of its different composition content.
3. Use environment
It says that 304 stainless steel is food grade stainless steel, so it is often used to make kettles, chopsticks and rice bowls.
And 3 16 stainless steel is often used to make medical instruments or industrial equipment because of its strong corrosion resistance.
