The difference between antimicrobial stainless steel and 316 stainless steel

Antibacterial properties, corrosion resistance, application areas and other differences.

1, antimicrobial properties: antimicrobial stainless steel is a special treatment of stainless steel materials with antimicrobial function. By coating a layer of antimicrobial agent on the surface of stainless steel, it can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and microorganisms.316 stainless steel is a conventional stainless steel material, no antimicrobial treatment, no antimicrobial properties.

2, corrosion resistance: 316 stainless steel is a high-grade stainless steel material with excellent corrosion resistance. Containing a high proportion of chromium and nickel elements, it has good acid resistance and alkali resistance, and can be used for a long time in harsh environments without rusting. Antimicrobial stainless steel is similar to 316 stainless steel in terms of corrosion resistance, but the performance varies according to different antimicrobial treatments.

3, application areas: 316 stainless steel is widely used in the chemical industry, marine engineering, medical equipment and other fields, especially for the more corrosive media requirements of the occasion. Antibacterial stainless steel is mainly used in places where there are requirements for hygiene and antibacterial properties, such as medical equipment, food processing equipment, public **** places.
