By using 1.4305 (AISI 303 – SS2346) you get corrosion resistant free-machining stainless steel excellent for machining. It has good corrosion resistance and is often used for details within construction, building and processindustry.
The steel grade 1.4305 (also called AISI 303 and SS2346) is a free-machining austenitic stainless steel with excellent machinability. It is suitable for massproduction of details requireing good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and good resistance to many organic and inorganic chemicals. It shall not be used in marine environment or coastal environments. It is non-magnetic but may become slightly magnetic after cold working and welding.

1.4305 - AISI 304 is popularly know as grade 303 stainless steel. Grade 303 is the most readily machineable of all the austenitic grades of stainless steel. The machineable nature of grade 303 is due to the present of Sulphur in the steel composition. Whilst the Sulphur improves machining, it also cause a decrease in the corrosion resistance and a slight lowering of the toughness. The corrosion resistance is lower than that for 304. The toughness is still excellent as with other austenitic grades.
