Below is a brief overlook at common stainless steel alloys. Click on alloy number of each to learn more about the actual composition and common uses for that particular alloy. 303 Best for uses requiring extensive machining with good resistance to corrosion. 304 The most commonly used stainless steel alloy, valued for its ease of forming, corrosion resistance and welding properties. 309 Most often used in applications requiring strength, corrosion and high temperature resistance. 316 Second only to 304 in popularity, this alloy contains molybdenum however provides better corrosion resistance than the number one alloy. 409 This steel alloy is used where high temperature, good corrosion resistance and formability is required. 410 Provides corrosion and scaling resistance with good impact strength, maintains excellent mechanical properties when heated. 416 A chromium steel always magnetic, provides excellent machinability, not recommended for applications requiring welding. 430 A non-hardenable steel alloy with formability and good resistance to corrosion.
