Stainless Steel 300 Series

316 Stainless Steel contains chromium, nickel and small amounts of manganese and molybdenum which make it more resistant to chlorides and saline environments. 316 Stainless Steel is resistant to most forms of oxidation. It is used in industrial applications where chemical exposure is high. 316 is also frequently used in saltwater environments and in medical and surgical equipment.

304 Stainless Steel contains chromium, nickel and small amounts of manganese. 304 Stainless Steel is resistant to most forms of oxidation. The durability makes 304 easy to sanitize, and therefore ideal for kitchen and food applications and environments. 304 Stainless Steel  is susceptible to corrosion from chloride solutions, and from saline environments like the coast, those conditions would warrant a different material need.
