304 VS 316 Material, do you know which stainless steel water bottles is best?

According to the survey data, the per capita possession of stainless steel water bottles is about 0.68.This is huge data. Good metal water bottle will make effect our health. And FuWinn is a professional supplier for drinkwares.

Also replacing disposable plastic counterparts with a touch of elegance and a whole lot of practicality, these vessels have become an essential part of our daily lives. But beneath their sleek exteriors lies a symphony of factors that make them more than just a means to quench thirst.

Even some merchants have introduced the use of their own cups to buy coffee, you can reduce some fees, such as Starbucks.

Do you know the material and different raw material cost?

From the safety point of view, in fact, stainless steel 304 and 316 are austenitic stainless steel water bottles, and they meet the safety performance. While the difference is that 316 adds 2% more molybdenum. In this way, the corrosion resistance of 316, especially the resistance to chloride corrosion, is better than that of 304. And FuWinn is a honest vendor, contact us is a good choose.

Firstly, as from below list, we can clearly compare and find, 316 material cost is higher than 304. 316 is higher 304 almost 57%.Higher row material will make product cost expensive, do you agree?

To compare what is a 304 & 316 stainless steel cups function?

304 stainless steel tumbler (18/8) is the undisputed maestro, gracing the majority of water bottles and tumblers.

There is same function for 304 & 316 mugs.

1. Durability way,

 It can withstand bumps, drops and ensure your thermos lasts through countless adventures. Of course power coating is more durability than paint coating.

2.safety way,

Both material bottles are free-BPA which is harmful chemicals, so this makes our drinkwares can keep your precious fluids pure.

3.temperature Control way,

Whether you crave icy refreshment or soothing warmth, 304 stainless steel tumbler maintains the ideal temperature for more than 8 hours.

4.ease of Maintenance way,

Non-porous and odor-resistant, cleaning becomes a breeze, leaving you more time for the important things in life.

There are still a little different.

As 304 has more benefit and is a versatile stainless steel material. It is also relatively good in terms of high temperature resistance, and the general use temperature limit is less than 650°C. 304 stainless steel, it has good stainless steel corrosion resistance, and its intergranular corrosion resistance is also very good.

Of course, in addition to all the advantages of 304, 316 stainless steel cups also add 18Cr-12Ni-2.5Mo. Due to the addition of Mo, its corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength are particularly good, and can be used under harsh conditions; work hardening Excellent (non-magnetic).

So from the chemical composition of additives, do you know the different of  SUS304 and SUS316?

From the below list, we can be more clearly to see the different.

Chemical composition: SUS304 /SUS316

Carbon C:≤0.08 /≤0.08

Silicon Si :≤1.00/ ≤1.00

Manganese Mn: ≤2.00/ ≤2.00

Sulfur S :≤0.03/ ≤0.03

Phosphorus P : ≤0.045/ ≤0.045

Chromium Cr: 18.00~20.00/ 16.00~18.00

Nickel Ni : 8.00~10.50/ 10.00~14.00

Molybdenum (Mo):NA/ 2.00~3.00

As can be seen from the table above, the difference between SUS304 stainless steel and SUS316 stainless steel is mainly in the content of nickel and chromium, and SUS316 stainless steel adds corrosion-resistant molybdenum element. The corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel is better than that of SUS304 stainless steel, and it can maintain its corrosion resistance without special maintenance and can be used in complex environments. Can be used to hold boiled water, juice, drinks, etc.

316 and 304 are suitable for what kind of places?

304 stainless steel is a common stainless steel material, mainly used in the production of household appliances, kitchenware, tableware, sinks and so on. It consists mainly of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Therefore, 304 stainless steel has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, good high temperature resistance and low temperature resistance, and is suitable for indoor and low temperature environments.

316 stainless steel is a high-end stainless steel material, mainly used in the production of medical equipment, Marine equipment, chemical equipment, food processing equipment and so on. And 316 stainless steel oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance are better than 304 stainless steel, suitable for high temperature, high pressure and Marine environment and other harsh conditions.

 304 vs 316: What Makes Them So Popular?

Finally 316 is indeed more environmentally friendly than 304. Personally, I think that for children’s cups, you can choose 316 material. At the same time, you can choose 316 if you have special requirements for the liquid you hold. For most people, 304 can also meet our usual requirements. After all, 316 is more expensive. And from the query on Amazon, using the keyword “stainless steel mug 304/316”, there are only 183 results for 316, but 100,00 results for 304. In the end, it all depends on your specific needs.
