Corrosion Resistance
- 304: Excellent in most environments
- 316: Superior (molybdenum added for chloride resistance)
- 17-4PH: Good, can be heat treated for strength
Surface Finishing
- Passivation (enhances corrosion resistance)
- Electropolishing (smooth, bright finish)
- Bead blasting (uniform matte)
- Brushing (satin finish)
- Polishing (mirror finish)
