Stainless Steel Domestic (Stainless 304)

Stainless steel is mainly used in corrosion resistant electrical enclosures, auto molding and trim, wheel covers, kitchen equipment, hose clamps, exhaust manifolds, stainless hardware, storage tanks, pressure vessels and piping. It has a minimum of 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

Stainless Steel 316

Stainless steel 316 is commonly used in industrial applications involving processing chemicals, as well as high-saline environments such as coastal regions and outdoor areas where de-icing salts are common. Due to its non-reactive qualities, 316 stainless steel is also used in the manufacture of medical surgical instruments.
