Default 316 and 304 steel - whats the difference?


Bag the stainless and use bronze instead - you'll slep more soundly.

Also, download this .pdf onto your desktop for future reference:

I'd have to say that 316 is the way to go, if you need the strength of
stainless steel. Otherwise, you should go with the marine bronze.

The 304 has some serious issues, especially in an area where it has
exposure to chlorine ions.
