6M Small Diameter Heavy Duty Steel Clothes Rack SS304L SS 316 Seamless Pipe​

316 stainless steel contains molybdenum. 304 stainless steel does not.

For outdoor furnishings like rails and bollards, stainless steel is an ideal corrosion-resistant material, but it will only withstand long-term exposure if the grade is appropriate for its environment. 304 is an economical and practical choice for most environments, but it doesn’t have the chloride resistance of 316. The slightly higher price point of 316 is well worth it in areas with high chloride exposure, especially near the ocean or by heavily salted roadways. Each application for stainless steel has unique demands and needs a stainless steel that’s up to the task.

316 stainless steel has additional molybdenum that gives it resistance to chlorides and other processing chemicals.

316 stainless steel is commonly used in many industrial applications involving processing chemicals, as well as high-saline environments such as coastal regions and outdoor areas where de-icing salts are common. Due to its non-reactive qualities, 316 stainless steel is also used in the manufacture of medical surgical instruments.
