This 9/16" diameter Type 303 Stainless Steel Round Bar is a free-machining grade designed for high-speed automated production. Certified to ASTM A582, it provides 90,000 PSI tensile strength, excellent machinability, and good corrosion resistance for machined shafts and fittings. In stock Los Angeles.
- 303 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A582 Certified
- 90,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
Type 303 is an austenitic stainless steel specifically designed for superior machinability through an addition of sulfur. This modification reduces tool wear and allows for higher cutting speeds. Compliant with ASTM A582, it is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and cannot be hardened by heat treatment, only by cold working, which increases its strength and hardness.
As a medium 9/16" diameter bar, this material is perfectly suited for general-purpose shafts, axles, bushings, and spacers. Its balance of size and strength makes it a versatile choice for CNC lathes and screw machines producing industrial components with tight tolerances and smooth surface finishes.
