À propos de notre acier inoxydable
Deux nuances couvrent presque toutes les jobs en inox, et on tient les deux en bonne quantité. Le 304, c'est le choix intérieur et tout usage: rampes, supports, accessoires de qualité alimentaire, ferrures d'atelier. Le 316 mérite son supplément près de l'eau salée, des produits chimiques et de la saumure de route. Vous hésitez entre les deux? Au bord de la mer ou en milieu marin, allez avec le 316; partout ailleurs, le 304 fait la job.
Les formes sur la tablette: barre ronde, barre plate, barre carrée, barre hexagonale, cornière, tuyau, tube carré et tôle en fini 2B. Tout se coupe à la longueur voulue comme le reste du magasin. Vous avez besoin d'un fini poli ou spécial qu'on ne liste pas? Envoyez une demande de soumission et on va le trouver.
304 or 316: which stainless do you need?
One question decides it: will the part meet salt water, road salt, or pool chemistry? If it won't, buy 304: it's the standard for indoor railings, kitchen and brewery fittings, brackets, and food-contact work. If it will, buy 316: its 2-3% molybdenum is what stops chloride pitting on wharf hardware, boat parts, and anything living near the Atlantic.
How much more does 316 cost?
Less than its reputation, and it depends on the shape. Two real pairs from our shelf, priced per 12″ piece in CAD as of June 2026:
| Same size, same length | 304 | 316 |
|---|---|---|
| Flat bar, 1/4″ x 2″ | $26.11 | $29.30 |
| Pipe, 1″ NPS schedule 40 | $17.48 | $26.58 |
So budget roughly 10-50% over 304 by shape, and check the live page for today's number. On one piece of boat hardware the difference is a coffee; replacing a pitted part twice is the expensive route.

What shapes are on the rack?
Will stainless rust?
It can stain and pit, it just resists far longer than steel. Near salt, 304 shows brown tea staining before real damage; inland it stays clean for decades with a rinse. The avoidable mistake we see: carbon steel grinding dust settling on stainless, rusting, and looking like the stainless failed. Keep dedicated brushes and discs for stainless work and it'll keep its looks.
