The steel grade 1.4305 (also called AISI 303 and SS2346) is a free-machining austenitic stainless steel with excellent machinability. It is suitable for massproduction of details requireing good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and good resistance to many organic and inorganic chemicals. It shall not be used in marine environment or coastal environments. It is non-magnetic but may become slightly magnetic after cold working and welding.
Applications:
Food industry, photographic industry, paint industry, oil industry, soap industry, paper industry, textile industry, mechanical engineering, turned parts, fittings construction, kitchen equipment, decoration.
303 stainless steel is widely used in a number of critical industries for a variety of applications including: Screws, Nuts and bolts, Gears, Aircraft fittings, Bushings, Shafts, Food production, Use around chemicals.
