- 303 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A582 Certified
- 90,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
Type 303 is an austenitic stainless steel designed for outstanding machinability. The addition of sulfur to its composition acts as a chip breaker, reducing tool wear and allowing for higher cutting speeds. It provides 90,000 PSI tensile strength, good corrosion resistance, and conforms to ASTM A582. As an austenitic steel, it is non-magnetic and cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
This medium 1-5/8" diameter bar is perfectly suited for manufacturing robust shafts, axles, gears, and custom bushings. Its size provides the necessary strength and stability for industrial machinery components, hydraulic fittings, and other parts requiring significant material removal and precise final dimensions.
