Answer»

Both are AUSTENITIC stainless so, yes they can be EASILY welded but, and this is a big but, they can and are very DIFFERENT ANIMALS. You have not provided much information on the 304 and 316 alloys.

304 is a very common alloy that has a very wide range of compositions, this is like ASKING for a Chevy where you can get either a corvette or a fiesta. 316 is a little closer range of alloys but there are 316L, 316LN, 316F etc.
