What Are Stainless Steel Coils?
Stainless steel coil can be divided into cold rolled stainless steel coil and hot rolled stainless steel coil according to different production processes.
According to the materials, they can be divided into austenite, martensite, ferrite and duplex.
Common use stainless steel coils grades are often represented by digital symbols.
There are 200 series, 300 series, 400 series and duplex series.
304, 304L, 316 and 316L stainless steel coils are the most popular and economical grades of stainless steels.
Stainless steel 304/304L coils and stainless steel 316/316L coils, along with duplex stainless steel coils offer good corrosion resistance to many chemical environments as well as marine and industrial exposures.
What Are The Advantages of Using Stainless Steel Coils?
Stainless steel coils are an excellent choice for a variety of applications, including heating and cooling systems, food processing facilities and even your home.
They are highly durable and can withstand high temperatures. In addition, they offer many advantages over other types of metal coils:
Prolonged Lifespan
Stainless steel coils have a much longer lifespan than copper or aluminum. This means that you will get more use out of these coils before they need to be replaced. They also require less maintenance so you won’t have to worry about repairing them as often as other types of coils.
High-Temperature Resistance
Stainless steel coils can withstand temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit without melting or warping. This makes them ideal for industrial processes that involve extreme heat such as chemical manufacturing and oil refineries. They can also be used in residential applications such as cooking stoves and fireplaces where there is a risk of fire starting due to exposed flames from burning wood or coal fires.
Heat Transfer Efficiency
Stainless steel has excellent thermal conductivity properties that allow it to transfer heat quickly throughout its entire length — unlike other metals that may only conduct heat through their outer layers while their inner layers remain cool.
What Are The Edges Options of Stainless Steel Coils?
Mill edge is a non-trimmed edge appearance after hot or cold rolling and annealing/pickling process. It usually leaved an irregular pinhole line on the edge side around 10mm to 15mm.
Slit/slitting edge means we will trim irregular pinhole line on our slitting machine.
What are the differences between a stainless steel coil and cold-rolled steel coil?
1. Different properties: Stainless steel is a steel that is resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, water, and chemically aggressive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts. It is also known as stainless acid-resistant steel. Cold rolled steel is made from hot rolled coils and rolled at room temperature below the recrystallization temperature.
2. Different steel types: Cold rolled steel is steel produced by cold rolling. Stainless steel is a common stainless steel, also known as 18/8 stainless steel in the industry.
3. Different applications: cold-rolled steel is applied in construction, while stainless steel is suitable for food processing, storage, and transportation.
