What is the Stainless Steel Narrow Strip？

Stainless Steel Narrow Strip refers to thin, narrow-rolled stainless steel products typically produced through precision hot-rolling or cold-rolling processes.

These strips are characterized by controlled dimensions, specific surface finishes, and tailored material properties for specialized applications. Below is a detailed explanation:

1. Definition and Dimensions

• Stainless steel narrow strips are flat-rolled products with widths typically ≤ 600 mm (exact thresholds may vary by standards). Thicknesses range from 0.05 mm to 3 mm, making them distinct from wider sheets or plates.

• They are supplied in coiled form for efficiency in handling and further processing, emphasizing flexibility for high-volume production.

2. Production Process

The manufacturing involves sequential steps to ensure precision and material integrity:

• Hot Rolling: Initial reduction of stainless steel slabs into thinner strips at high temperatures. Key parameters (e.g., temperature, rolling speed) are tightly controlled to prevent defects like edge cracks or surface scaling.

• Descaling and Annealing: Removal of oxide layers via acid pickling or mechanical methods, followed by annealing (heat treatment) to restore ductility and eliminate internal stresses .

• Cold Rolling (Optional): For ultra-thin or high-precision strips, cold rolling further reduces thickness and enhances surface smoothness.

• Coiling and Finishing: Final coiling into compact rolls, with surface treatments (e.g., polishing, coating) applied based on end-use requirements.

3. Material Characteristics

• Alloy Types: Primarily austenitic grades (e.g., SUS304, SUS316) due to their corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. Ferritic or martensitic grades are used for specific needs like magnetic properties .

• Key Properties:

  • High dimensional accuracy and uniform thickness.

  • Excellent surface quality (e.g., No. 4 brushed finish, mirror polish).

  • Mechanical properties tailored via thermomechanical processing (e.g., tensile strength, hardness).

Product descriptions:

 

This is a brushed ss strip(we also call it stainless steel strip) in PVD gold color coating processed by slitting. The original master coll can be 201/304/3041/316/409/410/420/430/439 28 or BA finish stainless steel coil by grinding and PVD cating, which is cut longitudinally by our sliting machine according to the width cutting size we preset(8 mm- 100 mm). These colored brushed finish stainless steel strips are best used to make advertising metal letters, 3D metal logos, wall decorations, furniture decorations, stainless steel letters, etc.

01. What is stainless steel slit coil?

A1: Stainless steel slit coil, we also caled stainless stel strip or stainless steel narow strip, It's a long, continuous strip of stainess steel that has been precisely cut from a wider master coilinto narrower widths. It's wound onto a smaller coil for ease of handling, transport, and feeding into downstream manufacturing processes.

A4: Our thickness range of stainless steel slit coil is 0.25mm-3mm: Width range is 8mm-1500mm length range typically from 50 m/coil to 100m/coil or customized.

 

Q5: What is thickness and width tolerances of stainless steel slit coil?

A5: Width Tolerance: < 3c.Thickness Tolerance: Governed by the original master coil spec (typically±5%).

Q6:What causes Edge Burr, and how is it minimized?

A6: Burr is caused by the plastic deformation of metal during slitting.I t's minimized by:
