What are the common types of stainless steel used in life?
304 Stainless Steel
304 stainless steel is a general-purpose stainless steel. It has a wide range of applications, mainly used in the production of good requirements for comprehensive equipment or machine parts. The main requirement and standard of comprehensive is to require corrosion resistance just now. Now also appear in the family life, such as some small household items: lunch boxes, insulation cups, kitchen utensils, etc. 304 stainless steel, the requirements must contain more than 18% of chromium and more than 8% of nickel, so 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel
316 stainless steel, in the basic composition of stainless steel, and added Mo, so 316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, but also resistant to atmospheric corrosion. In this way, 316 stainless steel has the advantage of being used in harsh conditions. For example, used to make or process equipment that needs to work in seawater, equipment in chemical environments, dyestuffs, paper, acidic conditions and so on. There are some slightly more expensive children’s thermos cups on the market that are also made of 316 stainless steel and are sought after by a significant number of parents.
410 stainless steel
410 stainless steel is martensitic stainless steel. This stainless steel, distinguished from 304 and 316, 410 stainless steel hardenability is good, because of its high hardness and toughness, but also corrosion resistance. The hot forcing and cold deformation properties, as well as vibration damping properties are also outstanding, yes that’s how outstanding they are. It is also an excellent type of stainless steel and is widely used.
