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.
Grade 302 is a slightly higher carbon version than 304. 302 stainless steel is an extremely tough, ductile grade that demonstrates superior corrosion resistance. It is a non-magnetic grade that is not hardenable by heat treating. It is generally used in the annealed condition and is noted for its ease of fabrication and formability.
Stainless 422 is a hardenable, martensitic stainless steel with better strength at higher temperatures as high as 1200 F. It is capable of being heat treated to various high strength levels.
Type 420 stainless steel is a general purpose steel and possesses similar qualities to the 410 grade, but contains more carbon which provides improved hardness and strength when heat treated. 420 stainless has good mechanical and machining properties.
