302 stainless steel bar, also known as UNS S30200 and Grade 302, is composed of .15% carbon, 17% to 19% chromium, 2% maximum of manganese, 8% to 10% nickel, traces of phosphorus, sulfur and silicon, with the balance being iron. The carbon content is slightly higher than that of 304, and does not respond to heat treatment. Stainless Steel 302 is very ductile and may be ready to be drawn, spun or upset. The hardness of Grade 302 is dramatically increased through cold working, which will also cause it to be magnetic.
