Stainless wire cloth Type 304: is an austenitic, non-magnetic, thermally nonhardenable economical stainless steel.It resists most oxidizing acids, withstands all ordinary rusting, and is immune to foodstuffs, sterilizing solutions, most organic chemicals and dyestuffs, and a wide variety of organic chamicals, but resists poorly halogen acids.
Stainless wire cloth Type 310: offers superior corrosion resistance to Type 304 in many enviornments and is noted for oxidation resistance up to 2000º F.
Stainless wire cloth Type 316: is similiar to Type 304 but distiguished primarily by the addition of molybdenum which significantly increases it's corrosion resistance.Type 316 can withstand corrosive attack by sodium and calcium brines, hypochlorite solutions, phosphoric, sulfurous, and acetic acids, and the hostile environment of the body when used for implant.
Stainless wire cloth Type 321: is an austenitic steel suitable for intermittent heating and cooling to temperatures between 800/1650º F.
Stainless wire cloth Type 347: is similar to Type 321 but with the addition of columbium and tantalum and the absence of titanium
Stainless wire cloth Type 410: is a martenistic alloy that is hardenable similar to regular carbon and alloy steels.
Stainless wire cloth Type 430: is a magnetic, ferritic stainless steel that because it contains no nickel and slightly less chromium, is less resistant to corrosion than Type 304. It is however, less costly and resists attack from nitric acid.
