Stainless 304, also known as 18-8 stainless, is the most common steel used in a variety of uses because of the ease in which it can be formed into various shapes. Non-magnetic and highly resistant to corrosion makes it a good all-purpose stainless.
Stainless 317 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance. (317 is a modified version of 316). Its high Molybdenum content enhances the grade’s superior pitting resistance. It is the most corrosion resistant of the 300 Series alloys and possesses the highest tensile and creep strength properties at elevated temperatures.
303 Stainless machines well and cuts clean and maintains it resistance to corrosion in temperatures up to 1500 degrees F. Good applications include repeat machining, fittings and fasteners.
Type 316, also known as marine grade or surgical stainless steel, is particularly suitable for applications involving severe corrosive conditions, particularly pitting. Stainless 316/316L maintains strength, durability and workability and is ideal for lasting structural support in corrosive environments with harsh chemicals like salt water, acidic chemicals.
