FABRICATION
Fabrication of all stainless steels should be done only
with tools dedicated to stainless steel materials.
Tooling and work surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned
before use. These precautions are necessary to avoid
cross contamination of stainless steel by easily
corroded metals that may discolour the surface of the
fabricated product.
COLD WORKING
Type 303 is not readily cold workable. Some cold

working is possible but sharp bending should not be
