The most well-known grades of stainless steel are the austenitic stainless steel grades 304 and 316. An austenitic stainless steel is so-called because of the crystal structure the atoms take when the composition and thermal processing conditions allow. The austenite crystal structure is also described as face centred cubic (FCC) and defines many of the mechanical and physical properties of the stainless steel.
