303 Stainless

Type 303 is a non-magnetic stainless steel, which is not hardenable by heat treatment. It is the free machining modification of the basic 18% chromium - 8% nickel stainless steel.

303 has good resistance to oxidation at temperatures up to 1700 Fahrenheit degree. In extreme oxidizing atmospheres, irregular scaling may be encountered, particularly above 1400 Fahrenheit degree.

Chemical proposition:

Cr: 17.0-19.0
Ni:8.0-10.0 
C: max0.15 
Mn: max 2.0 
P: max 0.2 
S: min 0.3
Si: max 1.0 
Fe: Bal

RAM 303 contains 0.30% minimum sulfur for enhanced machinability, substantially higher than the 0.15% minimum required by ASTM.
