Type 304—the most common grade; the classic 18/8 (18% chromium, 8% nickel) stainless steel. Outside of the US it is commonly known as "A2 stainless steel", in accordance with ISO 3506 (not to be confused with A2 tool steel). [6] The Japanese equivalent grade of this material is SUS304.
300 series stainless steels are the larger subgroup. The most common austenitic stainless steel and most common of all stainless steel is Type 304, also known as 18/8 or A2. Type 304 is extensively used in such items as cookware, cutlery, and kitchen equipment. Type 316, also known as A4, is the next most common austenitic stainless steel.
A2 stainless steel outside the US, in accordance with ISO 3506 for fasteners. [4] 18/8 and 18/10 stainless steel (also written 18-8 and 18-10) in the commercial tableware and fastener industries. SUS304 the Japanese JIS G4303 equivalent grade. 1.4301, the EN 10088 equivalent. [5]

UNS S17400 is ASTM grade 630, Cr-Ni 17-4PH precipitation hardened stainless steel; UNS S30400 is SAE 304, Cr/Ni 18/10, Euronorm 1.4301 stainless steel; UNS S31600 is SAE 316; UNS S31603 is 316L, a low carbon version of 316. The digits "03" were assigned since the maximum allowed carbon content is 0.03%; UNS C90300 is CDA 903
SAE 316 stainless steel is a molybdenum-alloyed steel and the second most common austenitic stainless steel (after grade 304). It is the preferred steel for use in marine environments because of its greater resistance to pitting corrosion than most other grades of steel without molybdenum. [ 1 ]

SAE 316L grade stainless steel, sometimes referred to as A4 stainless steel or marine grade stainless steel, is the second most common austenitic stainless steel after 304/A2 stainless steel. Its primary alloying constituents after iron , are chromium (between 16–18%), nickel (10–12%) and molybdenum (2–3%), up to 2% manganese , [ 1 ] with ...
