300 Series stainless steels are classified as austenitic, and are hardenable only by cold working methods. Type 304 is the most widely used alloy of all stainless steels. These alloys resist corrosion, maintain their strength at high temperatures and are easy to maintain.

About Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is an iron-containing alloy that has excellent resistance to stain or rust making it the metal of choice for use in the manufacture of food handling, processing, storing, cooking, and serving equipment. Advantages include easy cleaning, good corrosion resistance, durability, economy, food flavor protection, and sanitary design. Milk, wine, beer, soft drinks and fruit juice are processed in stainless steel equipment.
Stainless steel is also widely used in bulk materials handling equipment, building exteriors roofing, automobile components (exhaust, trim/decorative, engine, chassis, fasteners, tubing for fuel lines), chemical processing plants (scrubbers and heat exchangers), pulp and paper manufacturing, petroleum refining, water supply piping, consumer products, marine and shipbuilding, pollution control, sporting goods (snow skis), and transportation (rail cars), etc.
Stainless steel is a common and versatile metal that does not stain, corrode or rust easily. It is also known as corrosion resistant steel or chromium steel and is defined by the fact that it is alloyed with a minimum of 10% chromium. Stainless steels can contain anywhere from 4-30 percent chromium, however most contain around 10 percent.
Stainless steel alloys develop a passivation layer of chromium oxide on their outer surface, effectively coating the steel and protecting it from the harmful oxidation that occurs between exposed iron and oxygen molecules in the air, which makes stainless steel more effective and attractive than regular steel. This protective layer of chromium oxide easily reforms when scratched, making stainless steel an excellent, durable solution with no surface cracking or pores. Stainless steels can be divided into three basic groups based on their crystalline structure: austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic.
Martensitic Grades
Martensitic grades are magnetic and can be heat-treated by quenching or tempering. Martensitic steels are not as corrosive resistant as austenitic or ferritic grades, but their hardness levels are among the highest of all the stainless steels.
Ferritic Grades
Ferritic stainless steels are magnetic non heat-treatable steels that contain chromium but not nickel. They have good heat and corrosion resistance, in particular sea water, and good resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. Their mechanical properties are not as strong as the austenitic grades, however they have better decorative appeal.
Austenitic Grades
Austenitic stainless steels are non-magnetic non heat-treatable steels that are usually annealed and cold worked. (Some tend to become slightly magnetic after cold working). Austenitic steels have excellent corrosion and heat resistance with good mechanical properties over a wide range of temperatures.
