Why are morgue tables made of stainless steel?

304 stainless steel resists corrosion from preservation fluids, cleaning chemicals, and institutional disinfectants. It supports routine sterilization and maintains durability across decades of institutional use.

Is 304 stainless steel better than other stainless grades?

304 stainless (18% chromium, 8% nickel) is the standard for medical and mortuary equipment. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability for high-use environments like morgues and autopsy rooms.
