Stainless Steel Round 303 - 1 Inch
303 Stainless Steel Round Bar - 1" x 144"
This 1" diameter 303 Stainless Steel Round Bar is an austenitic free-machining alloy compliant with ASTM A582. It offers 90,000 PSI tensile strength, making it ideal for high-speed machining of shafts, axles, and fittings where good corrosion resistance is also required. In stock Los Angeles.
- 303 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A582 Certified
- 90,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
Type 303 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel modified with sulfur to vastly improve its machinability, making it the most easily worked grade of its class. This cold drawn bar meets ASTM A582 standards and features 90,000 PSI tensile strength. While its corrosion resistance is slightly less than Type 304, it is suitable for many industrial applications. It is non-magnetic and cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
As a medium 1" diameter bar, this material is a versatile choice for general-purpose machined components. It is frequently specified for manufacturing shafts, axles, bushings, spacers, and valve bodies where its balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and superior machinability offers significant production advantages.
