304 Cold Rolled Steel Coil

Implementing GB/T 3280-2015, corresponding to 0Cr18Ni9 austenitic stainless steel

Its chromium-nickel alloy (Cr 18-20%, Ni 8-10%) endows it with excellent corrosion resistance and an elongation rate of ≥40%, making it suitable for precision processing scenarios such as deep stamping and stretch forming.

  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance

    Outstanding corrosion resistance in atmospheric, fresh water and weak acid-alkali environments, with salt spray resistance test showing no rust spots for ≥500 hours.

  • Superior Formability

    Good cold working plasticity, capable of withstanding complex forming processes such as deep drawing and flanging. For example, the qualified rate of kitchenware stretched parts is ≥95%.

  • Stable Surface Quality

    The 2B surface is smooth and uniform, facilitating subsequent secondary processing such as coating and printing, and adapting to the needs of appearance parts.
