1. If you look at 304 and 316 stainless steel with the naked eye, generally there is no difference, so many merchants sell 304 stainless steel as 316 for their own benefit, but the price difference between the two is still quite large, because 316 belongs to food Grade, better corrosion resistance, so the price of 316 will be more expensive than 304. If you spend 316 money but buy back 304 stainless steel tableware, it means that you have spent a lot of money.

2. Since the chemical components added to 304 and 316 are different, when distinguishing the two, professional stainless steel potions can also be used to distinguish them. After dripping the potion on the stainless steel, the surface of the 304 material is generally a little red, while the surface of the 316 material will be black.
3. If there is no professional potion, you can also use a magnet to test and distinguish. If the stainless steel is made of 304, it cannot be attracted by the magnet. However, the accuracy of this method is relatively low.
4. In fact, if it is just for home use, there is no need to choose 316 material, because the characteristics of 304 are also completely in line with household standards, so you can avoid buying only 304 products at the price of 316 material.
