- 303 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A582 Certified
- 90,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
Type 303 is an austenitic stainless steel specifically modified with sulfur for superior machinability, conforming to ASTM A582. This addition reduces tool wear and allows higher cutting speeds, though it makes welding not recommended. It offers good corrosion resistance in mild environments and cannot be hardened by heat treatment, only by cold working.
As a medium-diameter 1-3/4" bar, this material is ideal for manufacturing robust shafts, axles, bushings, spacers, and other general machined components. Its size provides substantial strength while remaining compatible with a wide range of CNC lathes and screw machines for efficient production.
