What are 303 Stainless Steel Bars?
303 stainless steel bars are austenitic stainless steel bars specially formulated with added sulfur to improve machinability. While it offers slightly reduced corrosion resistance compared to SS 304, SS 303 is widely used for precision machining applications, especially in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and industrial equipment.
