bromy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 304 is your most common group of stainless and is easily drawn/worked i.e kitchen sinks saucepans and the like, 316 is next common with slightly better corrosion properties by addition of molybdenum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Forgot to add both are very similar in tensile strength and hardness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 316 is much more resistant to radiation damage if you are going any where close to a nuclear reactor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
