Product Description:

Our Stainless steel sheets  are available in Type 304 and Type 316. Type 304 can be easily roll-formed or bent, and its excellent corrosion resistance and weldability make it one of the most popular grades found today.

Type 316 is a high corrosion resistance alloy, providing greater resistance to pitting-type corrosion. Typical uses for Type 316 include marine, chemical, paper, textile, and food service applications, such as a stainless steel backsplash. Our stainless steel sheet is dual-certified 316/316L, which helps prevent corrosion after welding.

The Differences Between Type 304 and Type 316 Stainless Steel

The differences between type 304 and type 316 stainless steel can largely be found in their chromium and nickel content. Type 304 contains a higher percentage of chromium, while type 316 contains more nickel. Type 316 stainless steel also contains molybdenum, which makes it more resistant to chlorides than other forms of stainless steel.

Finding the right stainless steel sheet metal for your needs ultimately comes down to the intended application. Type 304 stainless steel is known for its durability and corrosion resistance, while type 316 is typically used in applications that require greater resistance to chemicals.
