The guidelines and recommendations in this brochure are related to these grades.

GRADE 304: Has good corrosion resistance and is one of the most commonly used grades of stainless steel.

GRADE 316: Has a higher level of corrosion resistance. The grade 316 is often referred to as "marine grade". Typical applications are boat fittings and architectural components for exposed coastal applications.

GRADE 316L: Has similar properties to grade 316, however has an even higher level of corrosion resistance and is most suited to welding due to low carbon content.
