What's Difference Between Stainless Steel Pump 304 And 316？
TIME：2024-06-03 Author：admin Views：
Most of people don’t know what difference between stainless steel pump 304 and 316, here are the introduction of difference between stainless steel pump 304 and 316.
Stainless steel pump 304 is a commonality stainless steel material. It can withstand high temperatures very well, the general operating temperature limit is less than 650℃. 304 stainless steel pump has excellent stainless steel corrosion resistance and good resistance to intergranular corrosion.
Stainless steel 316 is 18Cr-12Ni-2.5Mo, because it has the chemical element Mo, its atmospheric corrosion and high- temperature strength are particularly good, and it can used be in harsh conditions, and it is highly work-hardening (non-magnetic) .
304 and 316 in terms of chemical composition, 316 contains Mo, but 304 excluding. Mo It acts as a carbonizing agent, prevents the steel from becoming brittle. Generally 316 is used as a naval steel, it’s more used at sea. Never use 316 in a concentrated sulfuric acid environment, or you’ll cause unnecessary damage.
304 stainless steel is a common stainless steel material, the densities is 7.93g/cm³, also known in the industry as 18/8 stainless steel. For indoor environments and general outdoor environments, choose 304 stainless steel to resist natural corrosion is enough. However, in the case of seawater equipment, chemical, fuel and other production equipment, industrial environments, facilities in coastal areas, etc., the stronger performance of stainless steel 316 is required.
In contrast, Stainless Steel 316 exhibits better corrosion resistance in a variety of corrosive media, especially in chloride environments and seawater.
-THE END-
