SRC Member Phang Posted January 17, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 17, 2003 AT, Any recommendations??? What grade Stainless Steel to use?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannochloropsis Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Phang, from what I know, there are 3 grades : 304 - lowest grade :306 (if I'm not mistaken) :316 (highest grade) 316 grade is almost double of that of 304 grade. Was told that 316 is the least corrosive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Hon Posted January 17, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted January 17, 2003 Phang, I think just go with the normal stainless steel they offer. Be it 304 or 316, they still corrode in a matter of time. You just have to apply some protective coating once in a while to maintain it. By the way, I also never ask what stainless steel is mine.... Tomolo I will find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
