Why is it said that using 303 is more cost-effective for stainless steel slot pan head screw?

A few days ago, I received an inquiry about slot pan head screw. The quantity is only 1,000 pieces, and the material requirement is 304. The customer asked us to quote him a price.

According to the customer’s quantity, it can be produced using cold heading. But it does require mold opening. Therefore, Shi Shi Tong screw manufacturer recommends that customers change the material to stainless steel 303 and produce it through turning. This will save more costs and eliminate the need to customize molds.

However, the customer said that he still wanted 304, thinking that the corrosion resistance would be better. If it is still 304, it can also be produced by turning. If you don’t know how to turn 304 materials into production, the tool will stick, and it is not as easy to produce as 303. However, Shi Shi Tong screw manufacturer still provides customers with quotations for 303 and 304, of which the quotation for 304 is 30% more expensive than the price of 303.

After receiving the quotation, the customer decided to use 304 material to make slot pan head screw, and the payment was quickly arranged.

Although the customer later did not adopt our suggestion to use 303 material to make slot pan head screw, from the perspective of cost control, we still try to save every penny for the customer and make reasonable suggestions for the customer.
