Performance Attributes
Tensile & Bending Strength
Our stainless steel metal strips excel in demanding environments due to their optimized tensile and bending strength. The AISI 316 variant achieves **≥520 MPa tensile strength**, ideal for high-stress applications like aerospace fasteners or marine hardware. For AISI 304L, the lower carbon content (<0.03%) enhances weldability while maintaining **≥485 MPa tensile strength**, suitable for food processing equipment and architectural trim. Cold-rolling processes ensure uniform grain structure, reducing brittleness and improving formability.
Identification & Traceability
Each stainless steel strip roll is laser-marked with a unique identifier (e.g., “316L-0.5MM-EN10088”), including material grade, thickness, and certification codes. This aligns with industrial standards for quality control and traceability.
Weight Calculation
The weight of a stainless steel trim strip can be calculated using:
For example, a 1.2 mm × 50 mm × 10 m 304L strip weighs 4.76 kg. Custom lengths and slitting services are available for precision projects.
Why Stainless Steel Can Rust
While stainless steel metal strips resist corrosion, rust may occur under extreme conditions:
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts degrades the passive chromium oxide layer.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches or improper handling expose the base metal to oxygen and moisture.
- Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with carbon steel or copper in humid environments accelerates oxidation.
Our 316 strips mitigate these risks with 2–3% molybdenum, enhancing pitting resistance in marine or chemical settings.
Craftsmanship & Manufacturing
- Cold Rolling: Precision cold-rolling reduces thickness to ±0.01 mm tolerances, ensuring uniformity for stainless steel trim strips used in automotive or electronics.
- Annealing & Pickling: Bright annealing (BA) under hydrogen gas eliminates surface oxides, while pickling removes scale for a corrosion-ready finish.
- Slitting & Edge Finishing: Razor-sharp slitting achieves burr-free edges, critical for medical devices or precision machinery components.
Applications
- Architectural Trim: Stainless steel trim strips provide sleek, rust-resistant edging for façades and interiors.
- Automotive: Exhaust systems and trim utilize 316 strip rolls for heat and chemical resistance.
- Medical & Food Processing: 304L strips meet hygiene standards for surgical tools and conveyor belts.
