302 SS Compatability Properties

302 SS Compatability Properties

(OP)
I am curious in understanding what makes 302 Stainless Steel bleach compatible.  I have made experiments with small springs made from 302 SS that have not corroded.

 Is the 302 steel resistant to oxidation from hypochlorite (OCl-) or is it resistant to the hydroxide (OH-)?  How is 302 steel different from "normal" stainless steel that you might buy in other goods?  What is the typical upcharge to manufacture a part from stainless steel to 302 stainless steel? Are there any other grades or processes that make steel compatible with bleach?
