We use certified and annealed 300 Series Stainless Steel. Using quality material is key as cheap imported SS metals often have poor grain consistency, pitting and air bubbles as well as higher iron contents. It's why you don't see any pitting or inconsistencies in Super-T products. Heres a quick low down on 300 series Stainless Steels:
300-Series Stainless Steel:
The 300 series has 18-percent chromium and 8-percent nickel added to the steel. Stainless steel with this mix uses 18-8 as its name as well as the 300-series number. These steels aren't attracted to magnets. This is an austenitic stainless steel, so it is easier to weld than some other stainless steels. It can be made magnetic. The 304 grade is the most commonly used stainless steel, and the 316 grade is the second most common. Both have the same general characteristics of the 300 series. Tableware, cooking utensils, food processing equipment, food preparation and mild chemical applications use this stainless steel.
