Whats better 304 or 316?

304 contains about 18% chromium and more than 8% nickel; on the basis of this, 316 also adds 2% molybdenum, which has better corrosion resistance.
Among the stainless steel materials, 304 and 316 are the most used. They can be used not only as the liner of the thermos cup, but also as a variety of cooking utensils and appliances. It is also food-grade material, which is safe enough for daily use.
Corrosion resistance: Because 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, its corrosion resistance is better, and its acid and alkali resistance is also improved. 304 stainless steel lacks molybdenum, so its corrosion resistance and acid and alkali resistance are not as good as 316.
If you are looking for cost-effectiveness, you must buy 304 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant, tough, and high-temperature resistant, which can basically meet our daily needs.
Comparing 304 and 316 in terms of material alone, 316 must be better, with strong corrosion resistance and acid and alkali resistance; in terms of cost performance, 304 is slightly better.
