304 stainless steel is a kind of universal stainless steel material, rust resistance than 200 series of stainless steel material is stronger. High temperature resistance is also better, can be as high as 1000-1200 degrees. 304 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and good intergranular corrosion resistance. For oxidizing acids, it is concluded in the experiment that 304 stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance in nitric acid with a concentration of less than or equal to 65% of the boiling temperature. It also has good corrosion resistance to alkali solution and most organic and inorganic acids.

Grade 316 stainless steel is an austenitic form of stainless steel with a molybdenum content of 2-3%. The addition of molybdenum makes the metal more resistant to pitting and corrosion and improves its resistance to exposure to high temperatures. This grade of stainless steel is particularly effective when used in acidic environments. With this metal, corrosion caused by acetic acid, hydrochloric acid and other forms of acid can be prevented.

304L is one of the austenitic stainless steels with a chromium content of at least 18%, a nickel content of at least 8%, and a maximum carbon content of 0.03. 304L stainless steel is an ideal choice for various household and commercial applications, with excellent corrosion resistance, ease of manufacturing and excellent formability. Austenitic stainless steels are also considered to be the easiest to weld among high alloy steels and can be welded by all fusion and resistance welding processes.

316Ti(UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilized version of 316 molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel. 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than traditional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as 304.

310S is an austenitic stainless steel that combines excellent high temperature performance with good ductility and weldability. It is usually used for high temperature applications because its high chromium and nickel content provides solid corrosion resistance, excellent oxidation resistance and excellent strength at temperatures up to 2100 °F. Due to its high chromium and nickel content, it is superior to 304 or 309 stainless steel in most environments.

430 grade is a ferritic, straight chromium, non-hardenable grade that combines good corrosion resistance and formability characteristics with useful mechanical properties. Its resistance to nitric acid attack allows it to be used in specific chemical applications, but automotive trim and electrical components represent its largest areas of application.

305 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel with a low work hardening rate. This low work hardening rate makes it suitable for many deep drawing applications. In order to minimize the earrings during the drawing process, the directionality introduced during the cold rolling process must be kept to a minimum.

302 stainless steel is a variant of 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless steel. This alloy is the most common and frequently used alloy in the stainless steel family. 302 are slightly higher carbon versions of the 304, usually in the form of ribbons and wires. It is a tough, tough grade, has considerable corrosion resistance, is non-magnetic, and cannot be hardened by heat treatment. 302 are typically used in their annealed state and have a high degree of ease of manufacture and formability.
