303 Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate

303 Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate is a non-magnetic, austenitic stainless steel designed for applications requiring excellent machinability. Its unique composition, which includes sulfur, improves machinability but slightly reduces its corrosion resistance compared to other austenitic stainless steels like 304. It is commonly used in manufacturing components requiring precision machining and moderate corrosion resistance.

Key Properties of 303 Stainless Steel:

• Grade: 303 Stainless Steel (UNS S30300)
• Composition:
  • High sulfur content for enhanced machinability.
  • Chromium (~17-19%), Nickel (~8-10%), and small amounts of other elements.
• Corrosion Resistance: Good in mild environments, but slightly reduced compared to 304 due to sulfur additions.
• Machinability: Excellent, often used in precision machining operations.
• Non-Magnetic: In annealed condition, but may become slightly magnetic when cold-worked.
• Weldability: Limited due to sulfur content, which can lead to cracking; not ideal for welding-heavy applications.

Applications:

• Nuts, bolts, and screws
• Gears and shafts
• Automotive components
• Aerospace fittings
• Food and beverage equipment

Size and Thickness Options:

303 stainless steel sheets and plates are typically available in various thicknesses and dimensions. Thickness can range from thin sheets (e.g., 0.5 mm) to thicker plates (e.g., 50 mm or more), depending on supplier inventory.
