Today I will briefly introduce some differences between the 316 and 304 stainless steel wire mesh. 316 nickel content is greater than 304, nickel is an important component affecting the anti-rust properties of stainless steel wire mesh.
On the surface, there is no difference between stainless steel meshes of different materials, but the service life will be different during use. 316 stainless steel wire mesh has a longer life.
304 stainless steel wire mesh can resist corrosion of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid and urea. Applicable to general water, used to control gas, alcohol, milk, CIP cleaning fluid and other occasions with little or no contact with materials. And 304 stainless steel wire mesh has good corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and processability, resistance to strong acid acid, can be embossed, can be used for making containers, tableware, metal furniture, architectural decoration, medical equipment and so on.
316L stainless steel wire mesh is added with molybdenum element on the basis of 304, which significantly improves its resistance to intergranular corrosion, oxidative stress corrosion, reduces the hot cracking tendency during welding, and has good resistance to chloride ion corrosion. It is commonly used in high purity and medium corrosive environments such as pure water, distilled water, medicines, sauces and vinegar. The price of the 316L is almost twice that of 304.
316 stainless steel wire mesh is mainly used in coastal buildings, ships, nuclear electrochemistry and food equipment. It not only improves the corrosion resistance of chemical hydrochloric acid and the ocean, but also improves the corrosion resistance of the brine solution.
Common causes of stainless steel wire mesh damage
Stainless steel wire mesh, like its name, can be interpreted as stainless steel that does not rust. In fact, this is just a consensus in everyone's life. Strictly speaking, stainless steel wire mesh will also rust. So what is the common type of damage to stainless steel wire mesh?
Stainless steel wire mesh wear is a common damage to stainless steel wire mesh, which is a minor problem and can continue to be used.
The deformation of the stainless steel wire mesh, which will greatly affect the causal relationship. Because the deformation changes the length and pattern of the stainless steel wire mesh.
Stainless steel wire mesh broken wire is usually the result of a certain degree of deformation of the stainless steel wire mesh. This is the early performance of the broken wire when the stainless steel mesh is rusted. This time we should replace the damaged stainless steel screen as soon as possible.
Multi-layer wound stainless steel wire mesh is usually wound on top of the drum. Sometimes, stainless steel wire mesh may wrap around the top of the drum due to improper handling. This time the winding wire will be severely deformed and cannot be used.
These are the common types of damage on stainless steel wire mesh. If you are careful, these common damages can be avoided. For example, we can use stainless steel wire mesh to prevent rust. In the production process, be careful not to wrap around the drum to avoid deformation of the stainless steel wire mesh.
