Stainless Steel Round 303 - 1/4 Inch
This 1/4" diameter 303 Stainless Steel Round Bar is a free-machining austenitic grade engineered for high-speed automated machining. It meets ASTM A582 specifications and offers 90,000 PSI tensile strength, making it ideal for precision turned parts like shafts, fasteners, and fittings. In stock Los Angeles.
- 303 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A582 Certified
- 90,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
Type 303 stainless steel is an austenitic grade specifically designed for superior machinability through an addition of sulfur, which acts as a chip breaker to reduce tool wear. This round bar meets ASTM A582 standards and delivers 90,000 PSI tensile strength with good corrosion resistance. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
As a small diameter (1/4") bar, this product is ideal for manufacturing pins, dowels, fastener blanks, and small shafts. It is a preferred material for CNC lathes and screw machines producing high volumes of precision turned parts with tight tolerances and a smooth surface finish.
