What is the difference between the stainless steel alloys you carry?

Type 303 Stainless is a machining grade used in medical and pharmaceutical applications. Type 304 is the most common alloy used for sheet metal fabrication. It has good formability and weldability, and offers good corrosion resistance to both chemical and atmospheric conditions. Type 316 has better corrosion resistance as well as higher strength at elevated temperatures than 304. Used for pumps, valves, textile and chemical equipment, pulp paper and marine applications.
