| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| 17-4 PH | Precipitation hardened, can be heat treated to high levels of hardness and strength. Features machinability and corrosion resistance. |
| 201 | Lower and more stable cost due to the substitution of lower cost manganese and nitrogen. This is a less expensive option, with good resistance to corrosion and tarnishing. |
| 303 | Corrosion resistant to sterilizing solutions, most organic and inorganic chemicals, most dyes, nitric acid, and atmospheric exposures. |
| 304 | Offers resistance to corrosion, has good formability and can be readily welded by all methods. One of the most commonly used grades across the industry. |
| 304L | Extra low carbon avoids harmful carbide precipitation due to welding. Same corrosion resistance as 304 with lower mechanical properties. |
| 309 | Used for high temperature and high scale resistance applications. Corrosion resistance is superior to that of 304. Resists corrosion on welded parts. |
| 316 | Better pitting and corrosion resistance than 304, as well as higher strength at elevated temperatures. 316 can be used for valves, marine equipment, pumps, and chemical equipment. |
| 316L | Extra low carbon avoids harmful carbide precipitation due to welding. Same excellent corrosion resistance as 316. It exhibits the same high strength, toughness and workability as 304 alloys. |
| 321 | Stabilized using titanium for weldments subject to harsh corrosion. No carbide precipitation and immune to organic and inorganic chemicals. |
| 409 | Lowest cost in terms of stainless. Used in automotive exhaust systems. Its resistance to oxidation and corrosion is good, the finish or look does not matter. |
| 416 | Good corrosion resistance. Additional sulfur in its chemistry makes 416 easier to machine. |
| 430 | Most popular of the non-hardenable stainless steels. Has great corrosion and heat resistance with good mechanical properties. |
| 440 F-Se | One of the hardest stainless steels. The extra carbon allows for a long lasting sharp edge when heat treated properly. |
