Type 302 - A slightly higher carbon version of type 304, most
commonly found in strip and wire forms. More corrosion resistant than
301 due to higher nickel content. Non-magnetic in annealed form,
slightly magnetic when cold formed.
Type 304 - One of the most widely used and oldest of the stainless
steels. This was originally called 18-8 which stood for its chromium
and nickel content. It possesses an excellent combination of strength,
corrosion resistance and fabricability.

Type 316 - This austenitic stainless steel has an added molybdenum
content to increase its resistance to corrosion, when compared to other
300 series alloys. It will resist scaling at temperatures up to 1600 F.
316 is used in the marine industry for its resistance to corrosion.
Type 17-4 PH - General purpose, precipitation-hardening stainless steel,
Low temperature (1000 deg F approx) age hardening produces superior
hardness/strength without distortion or scaling.
