- 303 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A582 Certified
- 90,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability (Free-Machining Grade)
Type 303 is an austenitic stainless steel specifically modified with sulfur to achieve superior machinability, reducing tool wear and promoting chip breaking in automated operations. Compliant with ASTM A582, it offers 90,000 PSI tensile strength and good corrosion resistance for non-marine environments. This grade is non-magnetic in its annealed state and cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
As a medium-diameter 1-7/8" bar, this material is a versatile choice for shafts, axles, bushings, spacers, and larger machined components. Its consistent diameter is ideal for CNC lathes and screw machines, enabling the efficient production of parts with tight tolerances for industrial and manufacturing sectors.
