2025-06-07 14:33

Many people will encounter a common question when purchasing Stainless steel mesh: "What is the difference between SS 304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh and 316L Stainless Steel Mesh?" These two numbers look similar, but there are obvious differences in performance and application. Simply put, 316L Stainless Steel Mesh has about 2% more molybdenum (Mo) than 304 stainless steel. This small difference in composition brings stronger corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments or high chloride environments, such as the seaside, swimming pools, chemical equipment, etc., 316L Stainless Steel Mesh will perform better. SS 304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh is the most widely used and cost-effective conventional choice, suitable for most daily industrial and household applications.


In the actual use of Stainless steel mesh, SS 304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh can already meet many filtering, screening, protection and other needs, such as agricultural breeding, mechanical protection, building decoration, etc. But if your use environment is relatively harsh, such as long-term contact with seawater, salt spray, and chemicals, it is recommended to use 316L Stainless Steel Mesh, which is not only more corrosion-resistant, but also more suitable for long-term use and reduces the frequency of replacement.
