If you live within 5 Km of the coast, you are susceptible to salt spray whether you know it or not. Chances are you are among those who would benefit from the additional corrosion resistance offered by 316 Stainless steel.

304S/s Build-in Braais

The introduction of nickel in 304 Stainless steel makes it a much more corrosion resistant grade than 430S/s and for this reason would be considered for installation in a coastal province however, 316S/s will be more suitable for coastal towns.

430 S/s Built-In Braais

430 S/s differ in its carbon content and the lack of elements such as nickel. For this reason Stainless steel Braais of this grade is generally considered for installation inland or indoors.

⚠️ Important Installation Note

For Stainless Steel Braais in Coastal Environments: While 430 stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance than mild steel, it’s still not recommended for outdoor coastal applications or within wet conditions. Consider upgrading to 316 stainless steel which contains molybdenum for enhanced salt water resistance when planing a coastal outdoor installation. All components exposed to the elements above the brickwork must be constructed from 304 stainless steel or higher grade to ensure longevity.

Grade 316More Commonly Known as “Marine” Grade.

This is the best quality Stainless Steel and is more resistant to corrosion than most of its counterparts,  which makes it a common choice for marine equipment and other applications  which needs to withstand  extreme corrosive environments.  This is due to the higher levels of nickel content contained within 316, as well as the presence of molybdenum which ultimately adds to the higher price point of this metal. Stainless steel Braais manufactured from this grade is normally considered for installation on a outdoor patio in a coastal province or town.   

Grade 304More Commonly Used For Stainless steel Braais and Accessories.

This material is a bit more affordable for the general use of braai products than 316 Stainless steel.
304 is the most versatile and the most widely used of all stainless steel. Its chemical composition, mechanical properties, weld-ability and corrosion resistance provide the best all-round performance. Consequently Braais made from 304 Stainless are a more popular choice.

Grade 430 – A Budget-Friendly Option.

430 Stainless steel is a cost-effective choice for Built-in Braais, offering good corrosion resistance in low-moisture environments. Compared to 304 stainless steel, 430 is less corrosion-resistant but more affordable, making it ideal for enclosed patios, indoor entertainment areas, or low-humidity inland installations.

430 Stainless steel is not recommended for harsh coastal conditions or an outdoor installation in a coastal province. On average, 304 stainless steel costs significantly more due to its higher nickel content.

Grade 3CR12It is Fair To Say That This is a Generic Grade.

It is in actual fact a lesser grade of stainless and is not very coastal friendly. Due to the high content of mild steel present in 3CR12, it cannot be treated with the same chemicals (acid treatment) as 304 to produce a polished finish.

Stainless steel Braais manufactured from this grade is normally coated with a layer of paint to finish the product. Hence 3CR12 is more appropriate to a non coastal environment and as a result  will be more fitting to your budget.

NOTE:
Please take note that models made out of Stainless steel metal also needs to be maintained and cared for. It is recommended that all Stainless steel Braais be maintained with a non abrasive Stainless steel polish to extend the life of the unit.  Use dry, seasoned wood. The moisture content of wood directly affects the way the braai unit operates. Well seasoned dry wood (cut, split and stacked under cover for at least 12 months) will give best results and least problems.
