Grade 304 is the most commonly used stainless steel. It is an austenitic, corrosion-resistant steel with excellent strength, toughness, fabrication characteristics and weldability. The low carbon version, 304L, may be required for full corrosion resistance when thicker sections are welded.

Type 316 stainless steel is an austenitic grade with added molybdenum. The alloy offers improved corrosion resistance when compared with Type 304, particularly in chloride environments.

Stainless steel plate surface smooth, high plasticity, toughness and mechanical strength, acid, alkaline gas, solution and other media corrosion. It is a kind of alloy steel that is not easy to rust, but it is not absolutely rust free. Stainless steel plate refers to the air, steam and water and other weak medium corrosion steel plate, and acid resistance steel plate is acid, alkali, salt and other chemical corrosion medium corrosion steel plate. Stainless steel plate since the beginning of the 20th century, has a history of more than 1 century.
