Are there any disadvantages to use SS 316 over SS 304 in a white liquor tank with a temperature around 100C?
The tank is old and built of 304 and will be repaird internally but the supplier had acidentaily ordered 316 instead of 304.

316 is generally considered to be an upgrade, we use it in contact with many various substances. I would not expect any issues.
