What is stainless steel coil?

Stainless steel coils are one of the most-in-demand raw materials in the construction and manufacturing sector. It also finds wide usage in the production of industrial equipment owing to its distinct mechanical and physical properties. Strong, resist corrosion, light in weight, and require low maintenance, they are also flexible and can be easily made into a range of designs.

Stainless steel coils are manufactured using hot rolling stainless steel slabs in a reheat furnace at a certain high temperature between 1,100° C to 1,300° C depending on the grade of the steel used for the manufacturing process. After continuously running it through heating and rolling mills, the product is coiled. Finally, the stainless steel coils are passed through the annealing and pickling lines for softer and brighter surface finish.

What are the types of stainless steel coils?

As discussed above, steel coils are made by winding or coiling a steel strip or sheet under very high temperatures. Depending on the production method, we can classify steel coils into four main types:

Hot rolled

Cold rolled

Carbon coil

Galvanised

STAINLESS SHEET COIL APPLICATIONS

Architectural

Kitchen equipment

Decorative applications

Aircraft exhaust manifolds

Expansion joints

Furnace parts

Heating element tubing

Heat exchangers

Household appliances

Metal molding

Metal trim

Cabinet hardware

Hinges
