Best Answer

Several. Ferritic, Austenite and Martensitic which can be further broken down into different types.

.

Austenite has the highest degree of corrosion resistance, ferritic has the best machinability while martensite is the most suitable for objects that need to be hardened.

Some examples of martensitic stainless steels are 440c, Ats 34, Cpm s30v.
