303 Stainless Steel Round Bar - 1/2" x 144"
This 1/2" diameter 303 Stainless Steel Round Bar is an austenitic, free-machining grade designed for high-speed automated production. Certified to ASTM A582, it provides 90,000 PSI tensile strength, making it ideal for shafts, fittings, and complex machined components. 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 engineered for superior machinability through the addition of sulfur. This modification promotes chip breaking and reduces tool wear, making it a primary choice for automated machining. It conforms to ASTM A582, providing good corrosion resistance in mild environments, and is non-magnetic in its annealed state. Welding is not recommended.
As a medium 1/2" diameter round bar, this material is versatile for general-purpose machined components. It is frequently specified for manufacturing shafts, axles, bushings, spacers, and complex fittings where its dimensional stability and excellent machinability allow for efficient, high-volume production with tight tolerances.
