Corrosion: compatible, 304 has lower resistance to Cl-

Type 316—the second most common grade (after 304 for food and surgical stainless steel uses alloy addition of molybdenum prevents specific forms of corrosion. It is also known as marine grade stainless steel due to its increased resistance to chloride corrosion compared to type 304. 316 is often used for building nuclear reprocessing plants. 316L is an extra low carbon grade of 316, generally used in stainless steel watches and marine applications due to its high resistance to corrosion.
