Most people think that stainless steel is not magnetic, and with the help of magnets to identify stainless steel, this method is very unscientific. First of all, zinc alloy, copper alloy can generally imitate the appearance of stainless steel color

Stainless steel is a steel alloy that contains a minimum chromium content of 10.5%. The chromium reacts with the oxygen in the air and forms a protective layer that makes stainless steel highly resistant to corrosion and rust. At the moment, there are over 150 varieties of stainless steel in the market.

Steel is the world’s most important engineering and construction material. It is used in every aspect of our lives; in cars and construction products, refrigerators and washing machines, cargo ships, surgical scalpels, Oil Rigs, etc. It can be recycled over and over again without loss of property.

The main difference between 304 and 316 is in terms of corrosion resistance and usage scope. In terms of content, the nickel content of 304 is generally 8%, while that of 316 is 10%, and 316 also contains 2% molybdenum element. So in terms of corrosion resistance, 316 is stronger than 304, which is why in some public facilities or coastal cities, 316 is the most common product.And 316 stainless steel contains Mo, which has better corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel in high-temperature environments. Therefore, engineers generally choose components made of 316 material in high-temperature environments.
