[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]316 and 304 stainless steel castings are widely used in applications where corrosion resistance is required.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
316 and 304 stainless steel castings are widely used in all areas from construction, and medical to food equipment.<\/p>\n
Stainless steel castings are ideally suited for use in environments with high sanitary requirements.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, they do not react with corrosive acids.<\/p>\n
At the same time, surgical instruments and tableware made of stainless steel are easy to clean and disinfect.<\/p>\n
Another reason for using stainless steel is that they do not require powder coating to resist corrosion and can remain aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n
Of course, even though they are called stainless steel castings, wear and corrosion are only a matter of time, but they are still an excellent solution for harsh environments and can provide durable products in a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
316 stainless steel castings: Thanks to the addition of molybdenum to 316 stainless steel, its corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance, and high-temperature strength are particularly good.<\/p>\n
It can be used in harsh conditions; it has excellent work-hardening properties (non-magnetic).<\/p>\n
When selecting austenitic stainless steel for marine applications, 316 stainless steel is generally considered to be one of the most suitable choices.<\/p>\n
Areas of application for 316 stainless steel castings.<\/p>\n
Equipment for seawater, chemical, dye, paper, oxalic acid, fertilizer, and other production equipment<\/p>\n
Photography, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD rods, bolts, nuts, etc.<\/p>\n
304 stainless steel castings: 304 stainless steel is the most common type of steel.<\/p>\n
As a widely used steel, it has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low-temperature strength, and mechanical properties; has good stamping, bending, and other thermal processing properties, no heat treatment hardening phenomenon (non-magnetic, use temperature -196 \u2103 ~ 800 \u2103).<\/p>\n
The scope of application of 304 stainless steel castings.<\/p>\n
Household products: tableware, cabinets, indoor pipes, water heaters, boilers, bathtub parts<\/p>\n
Automobile parts: wipers, mufflers, molded products<\/p>\n
Medical equipment, building materials, chemical, food industry, agriculture, ship parts, etc.<\/p>\n
304 and 316 stainless steel castings are widely used in all fields from construction, and medical to food equipment.<\/p>\n
Like the medical and food equipment examples mentioned above, stainless steel castings are well suited for use in environments with high sanitary requirements.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, they do not react with corrosive acids.<\/p>\n
At the same time, surgical instruments and tableware made of stainless steel are easy to clean and sterilize.<\/p>\n
Another reason for using stainless steel is that they do not require powder coating to resist corrosion and can remain aesthetically pleasing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n
