Stainless Steel 306
YAY
316 stainless steel is the next step up from 304 and the difference comes down to the inclusion of molybdenum. 316 adds around 2-3% molybdenum to the mix, which gives it superior corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and salt.

YAY
Sometimes called 18/8 stainless steel is primarily made from iron, with around 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It is an ideal material for use within the kitchen. It can be degraded by saltwater or highly acidic compounds. It can withstand fresh water, coffee, tea and juice.
