Grade A2 (18/8) or 304 is an austenitic grade of stainless steel.  18/8 refers to any stainless containing approximatley 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

It has excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion except in severe industrial and marine environments.

What distinguishes stainless steel from all other low carbon steel families is the presence of chromium, which forms a protective oxide barrier which resists rust and corrosion. Chromium also allows the steel to heal itself when damaged and doesn’t lose that ability over time, unlike metals that have been surface treated for corrosion resistance such as zinc plating.

Applications:

Civil and chemical engineering projects.  Food processing, medical and brewing equipment and many types of domestic appliances. As fasteners for aluminium alloy, plastic coated steel assemblies, building and masonry fixings.
