Metals Stainless Steel Stainless Steel 303
Stainless Steel 303
Grade Summary: A Chromium-nickel stainless steel with added sulfur or selenium and phosphorus to improve machinability and non-seizing properties. It is the most free machining of the chromium-nickel grades. Non-magnetic in the annealed condition
Typical Applications: Aircraft parts and parts requiring machining, grinding or polishing with good corrosion resistance. Excellent for moving parts and where low magnetic permeability is required.
Available products: Round Bar, Rectangular Bar, Square Bar and Hexagonal Bar
