The main grades of stainless steel sinks are 304 and 316. Stainless steel sinks are typically graded by their chromium and nickel content, such as 18/8 or 18/10, indicating 18% chromium and 8% or 10% nickel. The most common grades used for sinks are 304 (good corrosion resistance) and 316 (superior corrosion resistance, often used in marine environments). Lower grades, like 430, have less nickel and are less resistant to rust and staining.
