Stainless Steel Strip

In simple terms, the stainless steel strip is an extension of ultra-thin stainless steel sheets, which mainly satisfy the needs of industrial production of metal or mechanical products in different industrial sectors. The maximum width of the stainless steel strip is 1600mm, but the length is not limited. According to the processing method, stainless steel strips can be divided into hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel strips. Wanzhi Steel offers stainless steel strips of various grades and thicknesses, widths, and slits as required, and offers all surface treatments and colors. If you are interested, please contact us.

3. Smooth and Beautiful Surface: Featuring a bright silver metallic luster, available in a variety of finishes, including 2B, BA, and matte.
4. Excellent Processability: Easily processed for slitting, stamping, bending, welding, and other advanced processes.
5. Excellent High and Low Temperature Resistance: Maintains stable performance in both high and low temperature environments.
6. Hygienic and Non-toxic: Commonly used in the food and medical industries, meeting hygiene and safety standards.

Common stainless steel grades

(1) 304 stainless steel: The most commonly used “food-grade” stainless steel, with excellent corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties (it may exhibit weak magnetism after processing).
(2) 316 stainless steel: Based on 304, molybdenum is added to significantly improve resistance to chloride ion corrosion (such as seawater and salt spray).
(3) 430 stainless steel: An inexpensive ferritic stainless steel with good resistance to nitric acid and organic acid corrosion. However, it contains chromium and no nickel, resulting in poor corrosion resistance and magnetism.
(4) 201 stainless steel: An economical grade developed to conserve nickel, partially replacing nickel with manganese and nitrogen, resulting in lower cost. Its corrosion resistance is significantly inferior to 304.
(5) 420 stainless steel: A martensitic stainless steel that can be heat-treated to increase hardness and strength. It is primarily used in the manufacture of knives and surgical instruments.
(6) 2205 duplex stainless steel: Combining a dual-phase structure of austenite and ferrite, it offers high strength and excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion.
It is commonly used in harsh environments such as the chemical, oil, gas, and offshore industries.

What Is Difference Between SS316 and SS316L?

Density of each stainless steel grade

Stainless Steel Grade	Density(g/cm³)
304, 304L, 305, 321, 201, 202, 301, 302	7.93
316, 316L, 347, 309S, 310S	7.98
405, 410, 420	7.75
409, 430, 434	7.7

304 Stainless Steel Strip

304 stainless steel is a universal stainless steel material; its rust resistance is stronger than the 200 series of stainless steel materials. High-temperature resistance is also better and can be as high as 1000-1200 degrees. 304 stainless steel has excellent stainless steel corrosion resistance and good intergranular corrosion resistance. For oxidizing acid, it is concluded in the experiment that the concentration of nitric acid below the boiling temperature of ≤65%, 304 stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance. It also has good corrosion resistance to alkali solutions and most organic and inorganic acids.

Surface treatment

Cold Rolled Finishes

• No.1: Rough, matte finish. Typically used for subsequent re-rolling or industrial applications where surface requirements are less stringent.

Polished Finishes

• No.7: Highly reflective, but subtly abrasive grains are still visible upon close inspection. Commonly used for sculptures and decorative moldings.
• 8K: Mirror Finish. Completely free of grain, resulting in clear images. Used for high-end decoration, mirrors, signage, and medical devices.

Hot Rolled SS Steel Strips vs. Cold Rolled SS Steel Strips

1. What are Cold Rolled Steel Strips?

Cold-rolled stainless steel strips use stainless steel strips or stainless steel sheets as raw material and are rolled with a cold mill at room temperature. The thickness is 0.1mm-3mm, width is 100mm-1600mm. Cold-rolled stainless steel strips can be rolled or processed into coated steel sheets and have the advantages of a smooth surface, high dimensional precision, good mechanical properties, etc.

2. What are Cold Rolled Steel Strips?

Hot-rolled stainless steel strips are made by the hot mill, their thickness is 1.80mm-6.00mm, and their width is 100mm-1600mm. Wanzhi Steel’s cold-rolled steel strips have benefits for low hardness, ease of processing, good extensibility, etc.

3. Differences Between HR Stainless Steel Strips And Cold Rolled SS Steel Strips

a. Cold-rolled stainless steel strips have better strength and yield, and hot-rolled stainless steel strips have better ductility and toughness.

b. Cold-rolled stainless steel strip thickness is very thin; hot-rolled stainless steel strip thickness is a little thicker.

c. The surface quality, appearance, and dimensional accuracy of cold-rolled stainless steel strips are better than those of hot-rolled stainless steel strips.
