Stainless Steel Coil

Grade 201 stainless steel has good formability, corrosion resistance, and fabricability. 201 is a low-cost alternative to the conventional Cr-Ni austenitic stainless steels, such as stainless 304. Copper is added to compensate for the increased work-hardening rate. Stainless steel 201 has relatively lower ductility and formability compared to stainless steel 304.

• 304 stainless steel is the most versatile and widely used of all stainless steels. Its chemical composition, mechanical properties, weldability and corrosion/oxidation resistance provide the best all-round performance stainless steel at relatively low cost. It also has excellent low-temperature properties and responds well to hardening by cold working. If the potential for intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected zone exists, 304L is recommended.

• 316 is a greatly increased resistance to chemical attack as compared to that of the basic chromium-nickel analysis. Type 316 also offers higher creep, stress-to-rupture, and tensile strengths at elevated temperatures than any other stainless steel.

• The 316 is similar to those of Type 304 except that this alloy is somewhat stronger at elevated temperatures, compare with type 304, it has Corrosion resistance improved, particularly against sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, formic and tartaric acids; acid sulfates and alkaline chlorides

• Inox 409 contains 11% chromium which is the minimum amount for the formation of the passive surface film which gives stainless steels their corrosion resistance. 409 Coil combines a good elevated temperature corrosion resistance with medium strength, good formability, and overall cost.
• Grade 409 steels are also available in highly stabilized forms, such as grades S40930, S40920 and S40910. The stability of these grades is provided by the presence of niobium, titanium, or both, in the composition of steels.

• Type 410 is a hardenable, straight chromium stainless steel which combines superior wear resistance of high carbon alloys with the excellent corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Oil quenching these alloys from temperatures between 1800°F to 1950°F (982 to 1066° C) produces the highest strength and/or wear resistance as well as corrosion resistance.

• This alloy is used when strength, hardness, and/or wear resistance must be combined with corrosion resistance.

• 430 is a low-carbon chromium ferritic stainless steel. This steel has good corrosion resistance in mildly corrosive environments and good resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures. In the annealed condition the steel is ductile, does not harden excessively during cold work and can be formed using a large variety of roll forming or mild stretch- bending operations.

• 430 has limited weldability and should not be used in the as-welded condition for dynamic or impact loaded structures. Being a ferritic material, 430 has the potential to suffer brittle fracture at sub-zero temperatures. It should not be used in cryogenic applications.

UNS S30400 Stainless steel coil has excellent thermal conductivity, elasticity, elongation, and strength in cryogenic temperature. SS 304 do not get damaged when it is heated or in the presence of carbide precipitation. Provided the heating is conducted in the temperature range of 425 degrees C to 850 degrees C.
304 is used in the food processing industry, fertilizer industry, decoration industry, and chemical industry. Type 304 is also available with increased levels of nickel, which makes the alloy softer and easier to form often times beneficial for deep drawn processes. Each variant may offer benefits or drawbacks depending on the specific application.
