Catering to sectors like automotive, machinery, fabrication, and general engineering, Rashid Metals has established itself as a trusted provider of stainless steel solutions throughout Oman and beyond.
Stainless Steel 303 Bars and Rods are primarily made up of chromium, nickel, and sulfur, with sulfur intentionally added to boost machinability. This alloy typically features 17–19% chromium and 8–10% nickel, which contribute to its strength and resistance to corrosion. Mechanically, SS 303 boasts good tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness, along with excellent machinability that makes it perfect for high-speed machining tasks. While its corrosion resistance is a bit lower than that of 304 due to the sulfur content, it still performs reliably in moderate environments and maintains its strength under various operating conditions.
