Based in the bustling heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals has built a reputation for reliability and quality as a trusted manufacturer and supplier. We specialize in providing top-grade Stainless Steel 303 bars and rods, essential components for the growth of Ethiopia’s industrial and manufacturing sectors. Our commitment is to deliver materials that meet the precise demands of local engineers and fabricators, ensuring your projects are built on a foundation of strength and dependability. We understand that the quality of your raw materials directly impacts the success of your final product.
The composition of Stainless Steel 303 is specifically engineered for excellent machinability, achieved by adding sulfur to a chromium-nickel stainless base. This modification means it can be turned, milled, and drilled much faster than other similar grades, though it does slightly reduce its corrosion resistance compared to type 304. It maintains good strength and a resistance to oxidation, making it a practical and efficient choice for a wide array of automated machining operations where speed and a fine finish are priorities.
