E masani ona fuafuaina i le austenitic, ferritic ma duplex uamea stainless ma martensite uamea stainless, e masani ona vaevaeina i 2 faasologa, 3 faasologa, 4 faasologa, 5 faasologa ma 6 faasologa uamea stainless.
u'amea u'amea 316 ma 317 (317 u'amea u'amea va'ai i lalo) o se ituaiga molybdenum uamea.317 uamea stainless molybdenum i totonu i gaoming i 316 uamea stainless.molybdenum i uʻamea, faatinoga lautele nai lo le 310 i le uamea ma 304 uamea stainless i lalo o tulaga vevela maualuga, pe a sulfuric acid concentration e itiiti ifo i le 15% ma e maualuga atu nai lo le 85%, 316 uamea stainless ma le tele o le faaaogaina.316 u'amea u'amea ma le corrosion lelei tetee i chloride, e masani ona faaaogaina i le siosiomaga o le gataifale.Ole maualuga ole carbon anotusi ole 0.03 316L uamea u'amea, e mafai ona fa'aogaina mo le ueloina e le mafai ona fa'afefeteina ma le maualuga o le fa'afefe.
