Best Answer

I assume you mean 18-8.

18-8 steel is stainless steel with about 18% chromium amnd 8% nickel. 304 is in that category and is indeed an 18-8 steel. There are other 18-8 steels, such as 301 and 302, so while all 304 steels are 18-8 not all 18-8 steels are 304

1810 Stainless Steel is the European grade that is equivalent to AISI 304 Stainless Steel. It's the most common stainless steel going. Here's the rundown: Fe, <0.08% C, 17.5-20% Cr, 8-11% Ni, <2% Mn, <1% Si, <0.045% P, <0.03% S


What is the tensile strength of 304 stainless steel vs 316 stainless steel?

According to the Metals Handbook of the American Society of Testing and Materials, 316 Stainless has a tensile strength of 85,000 pounds per square inch.


What is LN of 316LN stainless steel refers to?

Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst theaustenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistant properties than Grade 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. Grade 316L, the low carbon version of 316, is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation). Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm). There is commonly no appreciable price difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel. The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. Compared to chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels, 316L stainless steel offers higher creep, stress to rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperatures. EnduraMet(R) 316LN stainless is a nitrogen-strengthened version of Type 316L stainless. By means of solid solution strengthening, the nitrogen provides significantly higher yield and tensile strength as annealed than Type 316L without adversely affecting ductility, corrosion resistance or non-magnetic properties. In the hot rolled unannealed condition, yield strength of 75 ksi (518 MPa) or higher can be achieved for bar diameters up to 1.375in (34.925mm). The foregoing information was gathered from two different web locations arrived at by searching for "stainless steel rebar" and "316LN stainless steel." It appears that Type 316 is a standard stainless steel, 316L is a low carbon stainless steel, and 316LN is a low carbon nitrogen strengthened stainless steel.

How do you prevent rusting on stainless steel?

Stainless steel does not usually rust. It will pit and also undergo crevice corrosion, so would need more information on the environment it is to be placed in. Also would need to know what grade of stainless steel - 302, 304, 316, 316L?


Does 316sst have better corrosion resistance than 304sst in di water?

Compared to 304 grade stainless steel, the 316 has higher strength, can withstand higher temperatures, and yes it can resist corrosion better. One factor is the molybdenum content in the 316 grade which gives it the overall corrosion resistant properties. The downside, 316 stainless steel grade is way more expensive than 304.
