Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is inherently resistant to corrosion, so 304 and 316 are great materials for all manner of uses in marine or outdoor environments. Grade 316 is slightly better in this regard, since 316 tends to have more nickel and molybdenum in the alloy. Both resist the corrosive effects of salt water or spray and chlorine.

Applications: Barriers, fence rails/bannisters, marine fittings and fasteners, and marine structures.
