ASTM A240 304 Stainless Steel Coil - Cold Rolled 2B Finish
Our Grade 304 stainless steel coil is manufactured to ASTM A240 standards with precision cold rolling and 2B surface finish. This austenitic stainless steel offers an excellent balance of corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability, making it the most widely used stainless steel grade worldwide.
Key Features
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to a wide range of atmospheric environments and many corrosive media
- 2B Surface Finish: Smooth, reflective grey finish achieved through cold rolling, annealing, and pickling followed by a final light cold roll pass
- Excellent Formability: Low carbon content ensures outstanding deep drawing and bending characteristics
- Heat Resistance: Good oxidation resistance in intermittent service up to 870°C and continuous service up to 925°C
- Weldability: Excellent weldability by all standard fusion methods, both with and without filler metals
- Mill Edge Available: Slit edge and mill edge options to suit your fabrication requirements
Typical Applications
- Food processing and kitchen equipment
- Architectural paneling and trim
- Chemical containers and tanks
- Heat exchangers and pressure vessels
- Automotive trim and exhaust components
- Domestic appliances and sanitary ware
Quality Assurance
Every coil undergoes rigorous inspection including surface quality check, dimensional verification, mechanical property testing, and intergranular corrosion testing per ASTM A262 Practice E. Material Test Certificates (MTC) to EN 10204 3.1 are provided with each shipment.
