ASTM AISI 316 304 Stainless Steel Coil Cold Rolled Customized Thickness
Stainless steel is a general-purpose steel with excellent corrosion resistance. It features better thermal conductivity than austenitic steel, a smaller coefficient of thermal expansion, superior heat-resistant fatigue, and contains stabilizing elements like titanium for enhanced weld mechanical properties.
Applications include building decoration, fuel burner components, household appliances, and consumer goods. Free-cutting variants are ideal for automatic lathes, bolts, and nuts. The addition of Ti or Nb reduces carbon content, improving processing and welding performance, making it suitable for hot water tanks, heating systems, sanitary fixtures, durable appliances, and bicycle flywheels.
