This 2-1/2" diameter Type 303 Stainless Steel Round Bar is a free-machining grade designed for automated production. Meeting ASTM A582 standards, it combines 90,000 PSI tensile strength with good corrosion resistance, making it ideal for large machined parts and heavy-duty shafts. In stock Los Angeles.
- 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 designed for superior machinability. An addition of sulfur to its composition reduces tool wear, making it a primary choice for automated machining. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and cannot be hardened by heat treatment, only by cold working. This bar conforms to ASTM A582.
As a large 2-1/2" diameter bar, this material serves as robust stock for heavy-duty shafts, large rollers, forging stock, and substantial industrial fittings. Its size provides the necessary strength and stability for large-scale components requiring extensive machining and a smooth final finish.
