Understanding Stainless Steel Grades Stainless steel is an alloy composed of iron, chromium, and other elements. The addition of chromium provides corrosion resistance, while other elements like nickel and molybdenum enhance specific properties. The two most common grades are: 304 Stainless Steel: Contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Known for its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. Ideal for general-purpose applications. 316 Stainless Steel: Contains 16% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum. Offers superior corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and acids. Suitable for harsh environments and specialized applications.
