When choosing stainless steel strips, the following common materials are mainly considered. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different application scenarios:
304 stainless steel:
Features: Common austenitic stainless steel with good corrosion resistance, excellent formability and weldability.
Application: Widely used in kitchen equipment, food processing equipment and chemical equipment, etc.
316 stainless steel:
Features: More corrosion-resistant than 304, especially excellent in chloride environments, contains molybdenum.
Application: Suitable for use in marine and chemical processing fields, such as chemical storage and marine equipment.
430 stainless steel:
Features: Ferritic stainless steel with relatively low corrosion resistance, but good oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength.
Application: Suitable for kitchen utensils, automotive exhaust systems, etc.
201 stainless steel:
Features: Low nickel content, relatively low cost, and good formability.
Application: Suitable for occasions where high corrosion resistance is not required, such as household and commercial appliances.
Selection suggestions
Environment: Select the material according to the use environment. If it is in a highly corrosive environment, it is recommended to choose 316 stainless steel.
Cost: 304 stainless steel is cost-effective and suitable for most applications.
Specific needs: If there are special needs (such as high temperature, high pressure), you can choose more professional alloy stainless steel.
