For most mechanical components, SUS304 and SUS316 can satisfy the majority of requirements. As a result, many people assume: "As long as it's stainless steel, it should be good enough." However, in certain advanced equipment and demanding environments, engineers often discover that even stainless steel components can still suffer from: High-temperature deformation Loss of strength Corrosion failure Long-term fatigue damage Chemical attack At this point, material selection is

When selecting stainless steel materials for components, many people first focus on corrosion resistance. However, for mechanical parts, the characteristics of the material itself often have a greater impact on machining methods, service life, and overall cost. Particularly in dowel pins, shafts, cutting tools, screws, and precision components, both 416 and 440C are common stainless steel grades. However, their intended applications are fundamentally different. Some products
