Product Introduction

303Cu stainless steel is an austenitic free-cutting stainless steel with acid resistance. To improve the performance of the steel, no more than 0.60% of molybdenum can be added to the steel to resist ablation. The product has good cutting properties, burning resistance and corrosion resistance.

303Cu is a free-cutting stainless steel with added copper and sulfur and selenium respectively. It is used in situations where free cutting and high surface finish are required. 303Cu stainless steel improves cutting performance and high temperature bonding resistance, and is very suitable for automatic lathes, bolts and nuts.
