304 vs 316 — Confirm Before You Order
Stainless steel grade selection matters most for corrosion resistance — the two most common general-purpose grades behave differently in marine and chemical environments.
Grade 304 Stainless
The most common general-purpose stainless grade, suitable for most indoor and general industrial fabrication where extreme corrosion resistance isn't required.
Grade 316 Stainless
Contains molybdenum for improved resistance to chlorides and marine/coastal environments — specify this grade for marine, coastal or chemical-exposure applications rather than 304.
Construction Types Available
Round Rod
Standard bar stock for machining and fabrication.
Sheet
Flat sheet stock for cutting, forming and fabrication.
Where Stainless Steel Rod and Sheet Is Used
Packaging
Stainless steel rod and sheet is supplied in standard mill lengths/sizes or cut to order. Confirm exact grade, dimensions and quantity before ordering — grade selection materially affects corrosion performance in your specific environment.
Common Questions
Should I use 304 or 316 stainless steel?
Use 316 for marine, coastal or chemical-exposure environments where chloride resistance matters — it contains molybdenum for improved corrosion resistance. Use 304 for general indoor and industrial fabrication where extreme corrosion resistance isn't required and cost is a bigger factor.
