What is the Difference between 301 and 304 Stainless Steel? How do they stack up against one another?
Grade 301 stainless steel, with its higher carbon content (0.15% compared to 304’s 0.08% by weight), can better withstand mechanical force. Grade 304 stainless steel, by comparison, can only take up to 90 ksi of pressure before experiencing mechanical failure.

As we can see from the above table, many of the compounds in the two steel alloys are capped at the same values. However, grade 304 stainless steel gets more chromium and nickel than grade 301 does. This tends to make grade 304 stainless more expensive than grade 301 is.
