Common Grades & Finishes  

1. Austenitic (300 Series – 304, 316)  

- 304 (Most Common) – Food-grade, kitchen equipment, architectural trim  

- 316 (Marine Grade) – Extra corrosion resistance (saltwater, chemicals)  

2. Ferritic (400 Series – 430, 446)  

- Magnetic, cost-effective for automotive and appliances  

- Less corrosion-resistant than 300 series  

3. Martensitic (410, 420)  

- High hardness for cutlery, tools, and industrial blades  

Popular Finishes  

- No. 2B (Smooth Matte) – Standard for industrial use  

- No. 4 (Brushed) – Decorative, scratch-hiding finish  

- No. 8 (Mirror Polished) – High-end architectural and luxury applications
