Type 316 has 2-3% Molybdenum included in its chemical composition which prevents specific forms of corrosion and enhances its corrosion resistance. It has better corrosion resistance, and also due to it’s high tension, high precision weaving, low elongation and good wear resistance characters, it is widely used for screen printing material.
Type 316L is a variant of Type 316 and differs by having a lower Carbon maximum 0.03% content as well as slightly lower yield and tensile strengths. It is softer than Type 316 which has good ductility and higher tensile than Type 316, it is the best printing material in most stainless steel alloys.
Type 304N is a kind of nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel, nitrogen can improve the strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. It was developed in Japan and suitable for high-strength requirement precision printing, but price is high.
