What are the characteristics of 304 stainless steel coil?

304 stainless steel coil has many desirable characteristics, which greatly promote its wide application in the manufacture of parts in many industrial sectors. Most importantly, it is very resistant to corrosion due to its chromium content. The minimum content of 10.5% makes steel about 200 times more resistant to corrosion than steel without chromium. Other features that benefit the consumer are its high strength and durability, resistance to high and low temperatures, increased formability and ease of manufacture, low maintenance, durability, aesthetic appearance, and environmental protection and recycling. Stainless steel does not need to be treated, coated or painted once it is in use.

How to grade stainless steel coil?

Stainless steel has a number of digital grading systems, specified according to its composition, physical properties and application. Each type of stainless steel is classified according to its series number and assigned a numerical grade. The most popular series numbers are 200, 300, 400, 600 and 2000. The most common grades are type 304 and 316, which consist of austenitic inconel. Tableware grade stainless steel is found in the 400 series, which is derived from ferrite and martensitic chromium alloys. The type 420 is called surgical steel and the type 440 is called razor blade steel.
