Introduction
301 stainless steel is a widely used austenitic stainless steel grade, known for its excellent combination of corrosion resistance, high strength, and good formability. Conforming to ASTM A666 standards, 301 stainless steel strips and coils are particularly valued for their high tensile strength and work-hardening properties, making them ideal for applications requiring both durability and flexibility. The strips/coils offered here feature a thickness range of 0.15 - 2.0mm and undergo precise slit cutting to ensure burr-free edges, enhancing their suitability for automated manufacturing processes and high-precision assemblies.
Chemical Composition (Typical, % by Weight)
The chemical composition of 301 stainless steel, as specified in ASTM A666, is as follows:
- Carbon (C): ≤ 0.15
- Chromium (Cr): 16.0 - 18.0
- Nickel (Ni): 6.0 - 8.0
- Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.0
- Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.0
- Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045
- Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030
- Nitrogen (N): ≤ 0.10
This composition balances chromium and nickel to provide corrosion resistance, while controlled carbon content helps maintain formability.
Mechanical Properties
301 stainless steel exhibits impressive mechanical properties, especially after cold working, which significantly increases its strength. Typical values (for annealed and cold-rolled conditions) include:
- Tensile Strength: 515 - 1379 MPa (varies with cold work; higher for fully hard conditions)
- Yield Strength: 207 - 1172 MPa (increases with cold working)
- Elongation: 40 - 10% (decreases with cold work)
- Hardness: 80 - 300 HB (Brinell) or 20 - 45 HRC (Rockwell), depending on the degree of cold rolling
These properties make 301 stainless steel strips/coils suitable for applications demanding high strength and resistance to deformation.
Specifications
- Product Form: Strips and coils
- Thickness: 0.15mm - 2.0mm
- Width: Customizable (based on slit cutting requirements, typically 10mm - 1250mm)
- Length: Coils (continuous length, usually 50 - 300 meters) or cut-to-length strips (as per customer request)
- Surface Finish: 2B (cold-rolled, matte), BA (bright annealed), or No. 4 (brushed)
- Edge Condition: Slit-cut with burr-free edges (≤ 0.01mm burr height)
- Temper: Annealed (A), 1/4 Hard (H12), 1/2 Hard (H14), 3/4 Hard (H16), Full Hard (H18)
Standards
- Primary Standard: ASTM A666 (Standard Specification for Austenitic Stainless Steel Sheet, Strip, Plate, and Flat Bar)
- Additional compliance may include:
- EN 10088-2 (European standard for stainless steel sheet/strip)
- JIS G4305 (Japanese industrial standard for stainless steel cold-rolled strips)
Equivalent Grades
301 stainless steel has counterparts in other international standards, including:
- UNS S30100
- EN 1.4310
- JIS SUS301
- GB 12Cr17Ni7 (Chinese standard)
Applications
Due to its high strength, formability, and moderate corrosion resistance, 301 stainless steel strips/coils are used in various industries:
- Automotive: Springs, clips, fuel line components, and decorative trims.
- Aerospace: Fasteners, structural components, and flexible joints.
- Electronics: Battery contacts, connectors, and precision parts in devices.
- Construction: Architectural trim, door hardware, and tension springs.
- Medical Devices: Small components requiring strength and corrosion resistance.
- Industrial: Washers, gaskets, and machinery parts subject to repeated stress.
Packaging
To ensure product integrity during transportation and storage, the strips/coils are packaged as follows:
- Each coil is wrapped in moisture-resistant plastic film to prevent rust.
- Inner layer: VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper for additional corrosion protection.
- Coils are secured on wooden pallets or steel reels to avoid deformation.
- Outer packaging: Heavy-duty cardboard boxes or steel crates for bulk shipments.
- Custom packaging options (e.g., labeled with batch numbers, specifications) are available upon request.
