Precision Stainless Steel Strip

Austenitic and ferritic stainless strip in 200, 300 and 400 series, rolled down to 0.05 mm and slit from 5 mm to 1250 mm.

Grades in This Family

Precision stainless strip is where gauge tolerance and surface finish decide whether a part is scrap. We supply all three series in tempers from annealed through to full hard, in 2B, BA and 2H surfaces, so the strip arrives with the springback and the appearance the part actually needs.

Problems This Material Solves

  • A part needs 300 series corrosion resistance but the mill minimum is a full width coil
  • Formed parts crack because the temper is harder than the bend radius allows
  • Visible surfaces show roll marks because the finish was specified as 2B when BA was needed
  • Thin gauge stock arrives out of flat and jams the progressive die
Who Buys It

Who This Family Is For

  • Progressive die stampers running thin stainless
  • Appliance manufacturers making visible trim, drums and liners
  • Spring and clip makers who need a defined temper
  • Tube and profile mills forming from strip
Why Source It Here

What You Get That a Stock List Does Not Give You

Range Advantages

  • All three series from one source, so a design change between 201, 304 and 430 does not mean a new supplier
  • Temper specified as a range from annealed to full hard rather than a single stock condition
  • 2B, BA and 2H surfaces available against the same grade
  • Slit from 5 mm, which removes the edge scrap on narrow parts

Typical Applications

  • Drawn and formed appliance components in 304
  • Ferritic 430 trim where cost matters more than chloride resistance
  • 201 series parts where the application is indoor and dry
  • Thin gauge shims and spacers below 0.2 mm

Precision Stainless Steel Strip Questions

What is the thinnest stainless strip you can supply?
0.05 mm. The same 0.05 to 1.0 mm range applies across the 200, 300 and 400 series.
Can you slit stainless narrower than 100 mm?
Yes. Slit width runs from 5 mm up to 1250 mm for stainless strip.
Which surface finish should I ask for?
2B is the standard cold rolled and annealed finish and suits parts that are painted, coated or hidden. BA is bright annealed and suits visible surfaces. 2H is a hard rolled finish that comes with the higher tempers.
Do you supply full hard as well as annealed?
Yes. Temper is specified anywhere from annealed through to full hard, which is how spring and clip parts get a defined springback.
