304 grade stainless steel (also known as 1.4301/304) is the most versatile and commonly used stainless material and is sometimes referred to by its old name 18/8 derived from the fact its nominal composition is 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

304 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of environments and when in contact with corrosive media. Pitting and crevice corrosion can occur in environments containing chlorides, or cracking can occur at temperatures over 60C.
