403 Stainless Steel Bar
403 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced in accordance with the American ASTM standard. 403 stainless steel is a stainless heat-resistant steel developed for the production of steam turbine blades and high-stress components. It is composed of carbon, manganese, chromium, nickel and other chemicals. It has high tensile strength and is generally delivered in a heat-treated state. It can has esistance and a scaling temperature of about 1300°F. It is a corrosion and heat resistant 12% Cr martensitic stainless steel. This alloy offers a wide range of mechanical properties that are obtainable by appropriate heat treatments. It is easily hardened by oil, fan or air cooling and may be tempered at temperatures of up to 1350°F (732°C) to improve fracture toughness. Oil or fan cooling is required in thicker sections
