Which is better, 316 stainless steel or 304 insulated cup
Sep 17, 2024
The main materials for thermos cups are 316 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel, both of which are excellent materials, but there are differences in some aspects. 316 stainless steel is more corrosion-resistant than 304 stainless steel, suitable for beverages loaded with chemicals such as acid, alkali, salt, etc., and can maintain the original flavor of the beverage without producing any odor. In addition, 316 stainless steel has high tensile strength and fatigue resistance, making it more durable. However, the price of 316 stainless steel is relatively high. The corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel is relatively weak, but its price is relatively low, suitable for general daily use, such as loading drinking water, tea, coffee, etc. Meanwhile, 304 stainless steel also has good heat resistance and wear resistance. Therefore, choosing between 316 stainless steel or 304 stainless steel insulated cups should be based on one's actual needs. If you need to load beverages containing chemicals such as acid, alkali, salt, or require more durable insulated cups, you can choose 316 stainless steel insulated cups; If it is only for daily use or the price budget is not high, you can choose a 304 stainless steel insulated cup.
