What are the types of stainless steel coil

Stainless steel is one of the most widely used materials in the world. It has excellent corrosion resistance, formability, compatibility and toughness over a wide temperature range, so it is widely used in heavy industry, light industry, household goods industry and architectural decoration. In this article we would like to introduce the product stainless steel coils, and we will take a look at some of the common types of stainless steel coils. Basic information about stainless steel coils will be mentioned in this article.

• The common types of stainless steel coil.

• The advantages of stainless steel coil.

• Why does stainless steel coil rust?

The common types of stainless steel coil.

304 stainless steel coil

304 stainless steel is one of the most widely used chromium-nickel stainless steels and, as a versatile steel, 304 stainless steel coil is also one of the most common stainless steel coils. The common industrial judgement is that as long as the Ni content is greater than 8% and the Cr content is greater than 18%, it can be considered 304 stainless steel. 304 is a general purpose stainless steel, which is widely used to make equipment and machine parts that require good overall performance.

316 stainless steel coil

316 stainless steel coil is widely used in petroleum, chemical, medical, food, light industry, mechanical instrumentation and other industrial transmission pipelines and mechanical structural components. Compared to 304 stainless steel coil, 316 stainless steel is also resistant to marine and aggressive industrial atmospheres.

430 stainless steel coil

430 stainless steel coil is a product using 430 stainless steel, which has resistance to oxidation to corrosion, but has a tendency to intergranular corrosion. In terms of corrosion resistance, 430 stainless steel contains chromium 16.00-18.00%, basically no nickel metal, 304 stainless steel contains more chromium-nickel metal, so 430 stainless corrosion resistance is not as good as 304 stainless steel.

In addition to the types of stainless steel coil mentioned above, there are many types of stainless steel coil. For example, 309, 310, 347stainless steel coil and so on. The different types of stainless steel coils are suitable for different scenarios. Stainless steel can be considered unique among metals as it already has many of the desirable properties required of a construction material, and its development continues. It is expected that the range of stainless steel coils will increase in the future.

The advantages of stainless steel coil.

The stainless steel coils have excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, fire resistance and metal strength. We guarantee the quality of our stainless steel coils due to the rigorous processes involved in the production of each stainless steel coil. Because stainless steel already has many of the desirable properties required of a building material, it is unique among metals, which is why stainless steel coils are used in so many applications. What's more, the chemically stable composition, the purity of the steel and the low content of inclusions mean that there is no harm to humans.

Why does stainless steel coil rust?

Although stainless steel coils are highly resistant to corrosion, they can still rust if not used properly. Generally speaking, stainless steel coil rusts due to the widespread presence of chloride ions. Stainless steel corrodes very quickly in an environment where chloride ions are present, even more than ordinary mild steel. Therefore there are requirements for the environment in which stainless steel is to be used and it needs to be wiped down frequently to remove dust and keep it clean and dry.
