Part One: Basics

Stainless steel precision strip (also known as precision cold-rolled strip) is an ultra-thin, ultra-flat material characterized by precision rolling, uniform grain structure, exceptional dimensional accuracy, superior surface finish, and consistent mechanical properties. Key distinctions from regular stainless steel strip include:

  • Tighter Tolerances: Thickness tolerance typically within ±0.001mm–±0.005mm.
  • Uniform Grain Structure: Fine and evenly distributed grains enhance material integrity by increasing grain boundary density, which strengthens interatomic bonding and improves comprehensive performance.
  • Optimized Properties: Homogeneous mechanical properties (e.g., hardness, toughness) with minimal internal stress.
  • Premium Surface Quality: High-grade finishes (e.g., 2B, BA, 8K mirror) with minimal defects like scratches or roll marks.
  • Specialized Applications: Used in high-precision components such as electronic connectors, medical devices, battery tabs, and precision instruments.
We offer the following grades:
  • Austenitic Steels: 201/204Mn/301/301B/304/304L/305/316/316L (excellent corrosion resistance, widely used).
  • Martensitic Steels: 410, 420 (high hardness for cutlery and bearings).
  • Ferritic Steels: 430 (resists corrosion, thermal fatigue, and offers high thermal conductivity).
  • Special Alloys: Custom alloys available upon request.
Material selection depends on:
  • Corrosion Resistance: 316/L > 304/L (ideal for marine/chemical environments).
  • Strength/Hardness: Martensitic or precipitation-hardening steels for high-strength needs.
  • Formability: Austenitic steels (e.g., 304) excel in deep drawing and elongation.
  • Temperature Resistance: Heat-resistant grades for high-temperature environments.
  • Budget: 316/L costs more than 304/L. Our sales engineers can recommend cost-effective solutions.
Standard specifications include:
  • Thickness: 0.02mm–3.0mm (customizable).
  • Width: 2.0mm–1,219mm (slitting services available).
Pricing factors include:
  • Material: Alloy composition (e.g., Ni, Cr content).
  • Specifications: Thickness, width, length.
  • Surface Finish: Higher finishes (e.g., BA, mirror) increase cost.
  • Order Volume: Volume discounts apply.
  • Market Conditions: Raw material (e.g., nickel) price fluctuations. Quotes are provided in USD/kg or USD/ton with detailed breakdowns.
We support:
  • T/T (Telegraphic Transfer)
  • L/C (Letter of Credit)
  • Bank Drafts
  • Stock Items: 7–10 business days.
  • Custom Production: 15–30 business days (varies by order size and production schedule). Timely updates are guaranteed.
Our quality management system includes:
  • Source Control: Collaboration with certified mills for prime coils.
  • Process Control: Automated rolling mills with online AGC (Automatic Gauge Control).
  • Final Inspection: Testing via micrometers, spectrometers, tension testers, and surface scanners. Material Test Certificates (MTC) are provided.
Part TWO:Technical & Orders

Yes. Complimentary samples are available for qualified clients (shipping fees apply). Submit specifications (material, dimensions, surface finish) via our contact form.

Absolutely. Our core services include:
  • Non-standard thickness/width.
  • Custom hardness (full-hard, half-hard, soft temper).
  • Special surfaces (e.g., embossed, etched).
  • Performance requirements (e.g., specific modulus of elasticity). Submit technical drawings for evaluation and quoting.
Key applications include:
  • Electronics: Connectors, EMI shields, battery tabs.
  • Medical: Surgical blades, catheter wires, springs.
  • Automotive: Sensor components, fuel injectors, gaskets.
  • Industrial: Bellows, precision filters, springs.
  • Consumer Goods: Watchbands, eyewear frames.
Yes. Our engineering team assists with:
  • Material selection.
  • Processing (stamping, welding, heat treatment).
  • Application optimization to reduce costs.
We use inner paper corner protectors + moisture-proof wrapping + steel-wood pallets. Custom packaging solutions are available.
Report issues within 7 business days of delivery. Retain original packaging. We will investigate and resolve via replacement, refund, or compensation based on inspection reports.
