Grade 303S31 is an austenitic stainless Steel and is the most readily machinable of all austenitic stainless Steel grades due to the presence of sulphur in the chemical Composition as seen below. As a result however, the toughness and corrosion resistance is lower to that of similar grades but is still somewhat excellent.
