Basic concepts of stainless steel strip and stainless steel coil

(1) Stainless steel strip

Definition: Stainless steel strip refers to stainless steel strip with narrow width (usually ≤600mm) and wide thickness range (0.02mm~4mm), usually supplied in coil or straight strip form.

Features: High dimensional accuracy and good surface finish.

Applicable to precision processing such as stamping, bending, welding, etc.

Commonly used in electronic components, precision instruments, decoration and other industries.

(2) Stainless steel coil

Definition: Stainless steel coil is a stainless steel sheet supplied in coil form, with a width of usually ≥600mm and a wide thickness range (0.3mm~50mm).

Features: Suitable for large-scale continuous processing, such as strip stamping, sheet metal processing, etc.

Mainly used in building curtain walls, kitchenware, chemical equipment, automobile manufacturing, etc.
