If you are purchasing stainless steel magnetic jewelry clasp , you will definitely notice that both manufacturers and wholesale/retailers often indicate whether the product is made of 304 or 316L stainless steel.
In fact, there is another widely used material in this industry, and that is 303 stainless steel.
Although 303 stainless steel is slightly less corrosion-resistant than 304 and 316L, especially in environments containing chlorides such as seawater or saltwater.
However, in some respects, 303 stainless steel surpasses 304 and 316L.
Next, I will share with you the superiority of 303 stainless steel compared to 304 and 316L:
1.Magnetism
303 stainless steel typically has higher magnetism, especially after processing. In comparison, 304 stainless steel is usually non-magnetic, and 316L typically only has low magnetism. Many customers pay close attention to the magnetism of the jewelry clasp, often using terms like “strongest magnetic clasps for jewelry” or “strong magnetic clasps for jewelry” to express their product requirements.
2.High Precision Machining Performance
303 stainless steel contains higher levels of phosphorus(P) and sulfur(S) elements, making it easy to cut, drill, and shape. This makes it an ideal material for manufacturing some components, like bearings, valves, bolts, nuts, automotive parts, and more.
In Kmint(Kaiming Stainless Steel Jewelry Co.Ltd.), we not only specializes in producing stainless steel magnetic clasps for bracelet and necklace, but also process some components according to customer requirements, such as CNC machining parts.
Additionally, the machining performance of 303 material allows for fast processing speeds, which is an important advantage for magnetic jewelry clasp processing, most of our customers like to used this kind of material.
Overall, 303 stainless steel surpasses 304 and 316L in terms of magnetism and high precision machining performance, and its corrosion resistance is also satisfactory, making it very suitable for producing stainless steel magnetic jewelry clasps.
When choosing stainless steel magnetic clasps, it is not necessary to choose 304 or 316L, customer requirements goes first.
so next time, when you are looking for strong or strongest magnetic clasps for jewelry, you can considering 303 stainless steel.
