The difference between 304 stainless steel blind rivets and 316 stainless steel blind rivets

What is the difference between 304 stainless steel blind rivets and 316 stainless steel blind rivets?

The main difference is the material.

304 stainless steel rivets the material is 06Cr19Ni10, SUS304, of which 06Cr19Ni10 generally means national standard production, 304 generally means ASTM standard production, and SUS 304 means Japanese standard standard production. 304 material has high tensile strength and yield strength, and has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, good mechanical properties and no rust, and is deeply trusted by customers.

316 stainless steel blind rivets the material is 0Cr17Ni12Mo2, 316 mainly reduces the Cr content to increase the Ni content and increases the Mo2%-3%. Therefore, its corrosion resistance is stronger than that of 304, and it is suitable for use in chemical, seawater and other environments.

The nickel content of 316 material is higher than that of 304 material, so its corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance are better than that of 304 material. Generally, 316 is used in places with higher requirements to replace 304 stainless steel.
