Material Detail: SUS303 Stainless Steel

General Description:
SUS303 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel known for its excellent machinability and corrosion resistance. It is a modification of SUS304 that incorporates the addition of sulfur or selenium, enhancing cutting and threading performance.

Chemical Composition (Typical %):

  • Chromium (Cr): 17.0 – 19.0%

  • Nickel (Ni): 8.0 – 10.0%

  • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.0%

  • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.0%

  • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.15%

  • Sulfur (S): 0.15 – 0.35% (for machinability)

  • Iron (Fe): Balance

Mechanical Properties (Annealed Condition):

  • Tensile Strength: ~ 620 MPa (90 ksi)

  • Yield Strength (0.2%): ~ 240 MPa (35 ksi)

  • Elongation: ~ 40%

  • Hardness: ~ 160–190 HB (Brinell)

Key Characteristics:

  • Corrosion Resistance: Comparable to SUS304 under mild environments; less resistant in chloride-rich or acidic environments due to sulfur addition.

  • Machinability: Excellent — specifically developed for improved cutting, drilling, and threading.

  • Magnetic Properties: Non-magnetic in annealed condition; may become slightly magnetic after cold working.

  • Heat Resistance: Up to ~ 870 °C (1600 °F) in continuous service.

Applications:

  • Precision mechanical components

  • Fasteners and threaded parts

  • Shafts, couplings, and fittings

  • Firearm accessories (muzzle brakes, mounts, compensators) where machinability and corrosion resistance are important

Limitations:

  • Slightly reduced toughness and corrosion resistance compared to SUS304 or 316 due to sulfur content

  • Not recommended for highly corrosive or marine environments
