*304 Stainless - Very common alloy used in utensils and many household items.  Generally, 304 stainless will contain 7-9% nickel, 18-20% chromium, and up to 2% [[manganese]], and the balance of the material is iron.

*316 Stainless - Also a common alloy, similar in use to 304 Stainless.  316 stainless contains 9-11% nickel, 15-17% chromium, up to 2% manganese, and up to 2% molybdenum.
