  • Material type

    Metal

  • Material name

    Stainless steel 303 | 1.4305 | X8CrNiS18-9

  • Alternative names

    X8CrNiS18-9, 1.4305

  • Process compatibility

    CNC machining
Grade 303 stands out as the most machineable among all austenitic stainless steel grades. Essentially, it is a machined variant of stainless steel 304. This enhanced machinability is attributed to the elevated sulphur content in its chemical composition. While sulphur improves machinability, it slightly diminishes corrosion resistance and toughness when compared to stainless steel 304.
