Stainless steel is widely used in commercial kitchens. The advantages of stainless steel are green, easy to clean and corrosion-resistant. The commonly used material models of stainless steel kitchen equipment are generally divided into two categories: 304 stainless steel and 201 stainless steel. What is the difference between the two?
Firstly, 304 stainless steel and 201 stainless steel are briefly introduced.
1304 stainless steel: a kind of high alloy steel with good corrosion resistance in air or chemical corrosion and corrosion resistant medium, stainless steel has beautiful surface, without surface treatment, such as the color of electroplating and giving full play to the unique properties of stainless steel surface, used in various steels, its performance is not easy to rust, commonly known as stainless steel. Good corrosion resistance, flexibility and brightness. Also known as food grade stainless steel
2201不锈钢介绍:201不锈钢板有一定的耐酸碱的性能,密度高,抛光没有气泡,针孔,等等,不到18%的铬含量和低镍含量达到平衡,形成铁素体,由于这个原因,201 #系列不锈钢铬含量13.5% ~ 15%,在某些情况下,降至13% ~ 14%,及其耐蚀性不可能比304 #和其他类似的钢。如果放在外面太久就会生锈。
2201 stainless steel introduction: 201 stainless steel plate has a certain acid and alkali resistance, high density, polishing without bubbles, pinholes, etc., less than 18% chromium content and low nickel content to achieve a balance, forming ferrite, because of this reason, 201 # series stainless steel chromium content 13.5% ~ 15%, in some cases, to 13% ~ 14%, and its corrosion resistance can not be compared with 304. # And other similar steels. If you leave it outside too long, it will rust.
Difference between 304 Stainless Steel and 201 Stainless Steel
1. Corrosion resistance: Because 304 stainless steel and 201 stainless steel contain different elements, the degree of corrosion resistance is different. 304 stainless steel contains more nickel elements than 201 stainless steel. How much nickel content determines the corrosion resistance of the plate. Simple point is that 304 stainless steel is often used outdoors, its performance is not easy to rust, 201 stainless steel is generally used indoors, if placed outdoors for a long time will rust, the right thing in the right place can play its great value.
2. Brightness difference: 201 stainless steel contains manganese element, but 304 stainless steel does not. From the color, 201 stainless steel because the color of manganese element will be white and bright than 304 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel, but we can not see it with the naked eye.
3. Price difference: 201 stainless steel is cheaper than 304 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel is more expensive in the market. Choose the right price to see their specific budget and specific needs.
