Hi all,

As I understand:

The 300 series is NOT magnetic.
The 400 series ARE magnetic.

Which one is recommended? Why?

Thanks a lot,

Recommend 304 or 316 because of resistance to corrosion. You should search the forums for more information as this is talked about several times.

Thanks a lot,

The 300 series is NOT magnetic(lacks iron).
The 400 series ARE magnetic(contains iron).

Iron corrodes easily.
