Stainless Steel Round Rod 303 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel specifically designed for improved machinability due to the addition of sulfur or selenium. While offering good corrosion resistance, its weldability is generally not as good as other common austenitic grades. This alloy machines exceptionally well, producing clean chips and allowing for higher cutting speeds, which increases manufacturing efficiency. Common applications include fasteners, bushings, and machined parts where ease of production is a primary consideration.

This round rod is made from 303 stainless steel, an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy enhanced with sulfur or selenium for improved machinability. It machines exceptionally well, producing clean chips and allowing higher cutting speeds, ideal for fasteners, bushings, and machined parts.

While 303 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, its weldability is generally not as good as other common austenitic grades, so welding may require special considerations.

Yes, this rod ships within 1 business day, but it does not come with a material test report (MTR) available.

Yes, this product is DFARS compliant and is domestically sourced, ensuring it meets regulatory requirements for defense-related applications.

The rod has a diameter of 0.375 inches and a length of 12 inches, weighing approximately 0.4 pounds per piece.
