Difference Between 304 and 316 Stainless Steel

Understanding Corrosion Resistance

Many consumers are confused when choosing between Grade 304 and 316. While both are rust-resistant, their applications are very different.

  • SS 304: The industry standard for home interiors, kitchens, and areas not directly exposed to salt water.
  • SS 316: Contains added molybdenum, making it resistant to chloride corrosion. Highly recommended for coastal homes.
