SS 304 & 316 STAINLESS STEEL WELDED MESH: SPECS & SIZES

COMMON MATERIALS

• SS 304 (AISI 304): Widely used, good corrosion resistance, suitable for indoor/mild outdoor use.
• SS 316 (AISI 316): Higher corrosion resistance (molybdenum added), ideal for marine, chemical, and highly corrosive environments.
• SS 316L: Low carbon 316, better weldability and corrosion resistance in welds.
• SS 304L: Low carbon 304, reduces carbide precipitation during welding.
• SS 430: Ferritic, lower corrosion resistance, more affordable, often used indoors or for decoration.
