Choosing grade 304 vs grade 316 stainless steel. Both types of stainless steel are more corrosion resistant than galvanized steel. 304 is a good choice for exposure to many types of freshwater moisture (depending on the mineral content of the water), while 316 is the ideal choice for use in saltwater environments. 304 has a higher minimum breaking strength than 316, but neither are as strong as galvanized.
