304 and 316 are the two most commonly heard stainless steel material models. So is 304 cheaper than 316? Yes, in most cases, the price of 304 stainless steel wire mesh screen is lower than 316 Stainless Steel Plain Weave Mesh. This is mainly because 316 Stainless Steel Plain Weave Mesh contains a precious metal that can enhance corrosion resistance, especially in environments such as the seaside, high humidity, strong acid and alkali, and performs more stably. It is this small "upgrade" that makes 316 Stainless Steel Plain Weave Mesh more expensive and can also be used in scenes with more stringent environmental requirements.
However, if it is used in daily life or ordinary industrial environments, 304 Stainless Steel Plain Weave Mesh is already good enough, both affordable and durable.
