Overall, 316 stainless steel is more expensive. This is mainly because its chemical composition contains precious metal elements such as molybdenum (Mo). The addition of these elements endows it with better corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and superior performance in some special environments. Therefore, its cost is relatively higher and the price is also more expensive.…… 【Read the full text】

Analysis of processing and treatment of ‌304 stainless steel: material properties and pretreatment ‌ : material inspection ‌ : 304 stainless steel contains 18%-20% chromium and 8%-10.5% nickel. Before processing, it is necessary to check whether surface defects (scratches, cracks) and chemical composition meet the standards to avoid affecting the performance of the finished product. Youdaoplaceholder0 annealing treatment ‌ : Internal stress is eliminated through annealing, and the processing performance is improved, especially suitable for subsequent precision processing requirements. ‌ ‌…… 【Read the full text】

Austenitic stainless steel often requires the addition of Ni. Currently, the price of Ni is very high worldwide. Therefore, one of the main development trends of stainless steel at present is how to save nickel. One good way is to develop excellent ferritic stainless steel and duplex stainless steel. So in the future, there will inevitably be more stainless steels that magnets can attract.…… 【Read the full text】

【 Properties and Applications of 317L Stainless Steel 】 : 317L(00Cr19Ni13Mo3, UNS S31726) alloy is an austenitic stainless steel based on molybdenum. Compared with conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as 304 alloy, it has a stronger resistance to chemical corrosion. In addition, compared with conventional stainless steel,…… 【Read the full text】

The 904L (N08904,14539) super austenitic stainless steel contains 14.0-18.0% chromium, 24.0-26.0% nickel, and 4.5% molybdenum. 904L Super austenitic stainless steel is a low-carbon, high-nickel, molybdenum austenitic stainless acid-resistant steel, a proprietary material introduced from the French company H·S. It has excellent activation-passivation transformation ability and outstanding corrosion resistance in non-oxidizing acids such as sulfuric acid…… 【Read the full text】

The price of 304 stainless steel in European stainless steel factories is as high as 20,000 yuan per ton, while the landed price of 304 stainless steel in Asia is only around 16,500 yuan. This direct price gap laid the foundation for price competition for Asian products in the European market. A lower landed price means that European importers have more controllable costs when purchasing stainless steel from Asia.…… 【Read the full text】

Pipe surface: The pipe surface is uniform in size, without concave surfaces, waves, scratches, pressure marks or pressure points. The pipe surface with a thickness of less than 0.5 is made into a bulge, with uniform bulging on all four sides. The bulging degree is effectively combined with the thickness, and there is no unevenness after polishing.…… 【Read the full text】

The quality of stainless steel pipes depends on the quality of the raw material, steel strips. The quality of stainless steel raw materials in the current market varies greatly, with both refining furnaces and medium-frequency furnaces available. Different raw materials result in different qualities. Some stainless steel pipe manufacturers, due to cost issues, choose medium-frequency furnace steel strips as raw materials when selecting them. As a result, the stainless steel pipes produced in this way may have some quality problems.…… 【Read the full text】

304 stainless steel is a very common type of stainless steel and is also known in the industry as 18/8 stainless steel. Its corrosion resistance is superior to that of 430 stainless iron. It is resistant to corrosion and high corrosion, and has good processing performance. Therefore, it is widely used in the industrial and furniture decoration industries as well as the food and medical industries, such as some high-end stainless steel tableware, bathroom and kitchen utensils.…… 【Read the full text】
