Our commitment is to support the growth of Nigerian manufacturing and engineering by ensuring easy access to superior-grade stainless steel, backed by our expert knowledge and dependable service right here in the nation’s capital.
Stainless Steel 303 is an austenitic grade known for its excellent machinability, a feature enhanced by the addition of sulfur. Its composition includes chromium and nickel, which provide good corrosion resistance. Mechanically, it offers a tensile strength of around 85 ksi and a yield strength of approximately 35 ksi, making it a sturdy and workable material. This combination allows it to be easily shaped and fabricated into complex components while maintaining durability for various demanding environments.
