In the 300 series of Stainless Steels, the higher the number the more corrosion resistant. Don't know the particulars on the alloys but as the material gets more Ni and Cr it becomes tougher to bend especially after it has work put into it like straightening to make 36" rods or if it is spooled right after drawing without an anneal....
