Grades

304 vs 316 — Confirm Before You Order

Stainless steel grade selection matters most for corrosion resistance — the two most common general-purpose grades behave differently in marine and chemical environments.

304

Grade 304 Stainless

The most common general-purpose stainless grade, suitable for most indoor and general industrial fabrication where extreme corrosion resistance isn't required.

316

Grade 316 Stainless

Contains molybdenum for improved resistance to chlorides and marine/coastal environments — specify this grade for marine, coastal or chemical-exposure applications rather than 304.

Construction

Construction Types Available

Round Rod

Standard bar stock for machining and fabrication.

Sheet

Packaging and Export

Packaging

Stainless steel rod and sheet is supplied in standard mill lengths/sizes or cut to order. Confirm exact grade, dimensions and quantity before ordering — grade selection materially affects corrosion performance in your specific environment.

FAQ

Common Questions

Should I use 304 or 316 stainless steel?

Use 316 for marine, coastal or chemical-exposure environments where chloride resistance matters — it contains molybdenum for improved corrosion resistance. Use 304 for general indoor and industrial fabrication where extreme corrosion resistance isn't required and cost is a bigger factor.
