This straight chromium stainless steel offers reasonable corrosion resistance and high mechanical characteristics. The 403 series offers heat resistance 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.
Corrosion Resistance of 403 Stainless Steel:
High degree of resistance to atmospheric corrosion because of its ability to form a tightly adherent oxide film
Maximum corrosion resistance is obtained by hardening and polishing.
Not recommended for use in severely corrosive environments.
