FAQ
Q1: How does 316L differ from 304 stainless steel?
A: 316L adds 2–3% molybdenum for superior chloride resistance (ideal for marine/chemical use), while 304 is cost-effective for general corrosion applications.
Q2: What welding methods are recommended?
A: Use TIG (GTAW) with ER316L filler rod under argon shielding for 316L; MIG (GMAW) for 304 with ER308L filler.
Q3: Are plates certified for food contact?
Yes. Compliance includes:
- FDA 21 CFR 177.2600
- EU 10/2011
- ISO 22000
Q4: What’s the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Standard stock: 1 ton MOQ.
