303 Stainless Steel Flat Bar - 3/16 X 1 X 11 Inch, Cold Finished For Machining & Fabrication

About This Product

Need some quality stainless steel for your next project? This 303 stainless flat bar is perfect for machining, fabrication, or any application where you need corrosion resistance and excellent machinability. The dimensions are spot on - 3/16 inch thick by 1 inch wide by 11 inches long, with cold finished surfaces that give you tighter tolerances and better square edges than hot rolled material. 303 stainless is famous for being the 'machining alloy' - it cuts cleanly and smoothly without the gumminess you sometimes get with other stainless grades. The corrosion resistance handles atmospheric conditions, chemicals, acids, and food contact really well, plus it's non-magnetic which matters for certain applications. The cold drawn process through dies means you're getting more precise dimensions than standard mill finish, and the bright finish looks professional right out of the package. It meets ASTM A582 and AMS 5640 specifications, so you know the quality is consistent. Whether you're making brackets, fixtures, prototypes, or repair parts, this flat bar machines beautifully and finishes well. The 11-inch length is handy for smaller projects or when you need multiple pieces from one stock. Professional machinists love 303 for its reliability, and DIYers appreciate how much easier it is to work with compared to other stainless grades. Keep some of this on hand in your shop - you'll find uses for it constantly. From custom automotive parts to kitchen fixtures to industrial components, this versatile stainless flat bar delivers performance and quality that makes your projects turn out better.
