303 - Free machining for use in automatic machining operations.  High corrosion resistant

304 - The most widely used of the stainless steels.  Offers good corrosion resistance to many environments.  Has good formability and can be readily welded.

309 - Used in high temperature applications.  High scale resistance.  Corrosion resistance superior to 304.  Resists corrosion when welded.

316 - Better corrosion resistance as well as higher strength at elevated temperatures than 304.  Often used for pumps, valves, chemical equipment and marine applications. Most popular of stainless steels.

409 - Lowest cost stainless - used extensively in automotive exhaust systems.  Excellent formability and weldability.  Because of its economy and good resistance to oxidation and corrosion, this stainless offer many opportunities for a wide range of parts.

410 - Heat-treatable stainless used widely where corrosion is not severe - air, fresh water, some chemicals and food acids.

416 - Free machining variation of  410 with useful corrosion resistance to natural food acids, basic salts, water and most atmospheres.

416 - Free-machining  variation of 410 with useful corrosion resistance to natural food acids, basic salts, water and atmospheres

430 - Is the most popular of the non-hardenable chromium stainless steels.  It combines good corrosion and heat resistance with good mechanical properties.  Oxidation resistance to 1500 deg F widely used in both industrial and consumer products.
