Stainless steel contains ≤ 1.2% carbon (C) and ≥10.5% chromium (Cr). SUS303 and SUS304 is austenitic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance, while SUS440C is martensitic stainless steel with high strength. (Table 5-8) SUS303 has better machinability than SUS304 because of a high sulfur (S) content.
