303 STAINLESS STEEL UNS 30300

303 Stainless Steel is the most machinable of the austenitic grades of stainless steel. With the addition of Sulfur to this grade, the sulfur enhances the alloy’s machinability which is ordinarily difficult to machine.

Applications: 303 Stainless Steel is widely used in manufacture of shafts, valve bodies, valve trim and food industry applications where 304 stainless would be normally used. 303 Stainless steel properties make it resistant to atmospheric corrosion, food products, sterilization solutions and many organic chemicals as well as a variety of inorganic chemicals.

Corrosion Resistance for 303 Stainless Steel Pipe

Intergranular corrosion may be compromised if the 303 stainless steel material is heated between 800 degrees F (427 c) and 1650 F (899 C) or cooled slowly through that range.

The following table is for reference only, many factors can affect the corrosive resistance. A corrosion test for each application should be applied.Phosphoric acidModerateAcetic AcidModerateSodium HydroxideModerateSea WaterRestrictedSalt SprayModerateNitric AcidGoodSulfuric AcidModerateHumidityExcellent

Heat Treatment for 303 SS

Annealing: Heat to 1850/1950 F (1010/1066c) and quench in water. Brinell hardness approximately 160.

Hardening: Cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Cold working this alloy increases its strength and hardness.

Machinability: 303 Stainless Steel machines easily with a brittle chip. Grinding and polishing are possible with 303 Stainless Steel with satisfactory results.

Our forging operation can increase the results for polishing this grade.
