How to Choose the Right Grade Stainless Steel for the Right Kitchen Equipment – Al Mutqan Steel

Austenitic steel is an alloy, rich in chromium and nickel with lower levels of carbon. This unique composition makes it non-magnetic and highly resistant to corrosion. Hence, almost all steel manufacturers in the world use austenitic steel for designing various machine parts and equipment.
However, the two most famous compositions of this type of steel i.e., the SS grade 304 and the SS grade 316 have often confused and debated over their differences and applications while choosing for manufacturing purposes.
To clear these doubts, let’s first try to understand the primary difference between SS 304 and SS 316:
• SS 304 contains a composition of 18-20% chromium, 8-10% nickel with small amounts of silicon, manganese, and iron.
• SS 316, on the other hand, contains 16-18% chromium, 10% or more nickel, 2-3% of molybdenum, small proportions of silicon, carbon, manganese, and a relatively larger proportion of iron.
Hence, the possible conclusions that can be drawn from these differences are
