304 と 316 ステンレスワイヤーメッシュ: どの材質が用途に合うか

英語原文ガイド

304 is the common industrial baseline

304 stainless mesh is widely used for screening, guards, and general filtration where chloride exposure is limited. It usually gives a good balance of price, availability, and corrosion resistance for standard industrial use.

316 handles harsher media and environments

316 adds molybdenum, which improves resistance in marine air, salt-bearing environments, and more aggressive chemical applications. Buyers often move to 316 when service life matters more than initial material cost.

Choose by environment, not habit

• Use 304 for general indoor or mild industrial conditions.
• Use 316 for chlorides, marine exposure, and stricter corrosion demands.
• Confirm whether the extra cost changes product life enough to justify the upgrade.

The right grade is the one that matches the operating condition, cleaning method, and expected service interval.
