302 stainless steel mesh has high hardness, low nickel content, and the market is chaotic.
The common feature of 304, 304HC and 304L stainless steel mesh is that the nickel content is not less than 8%; 304HC contains copper and has good ductility. H is the abbreviation of High and C is the abbreviation of Cu.
The carbon content of 304L stainless steel mesh is ≤ 0.03%, also known as low-carbon 304. L is the abbreviation of low or less.
The common feature of 316 and 316L stainless steel meshes is the high nickel content. The carbon content of 316L is less than 0.03%, which is soft and called low carbon high nickel.
