Stainless Steel Coil

What is a stainless steel coil?

Stainless steel coil is a rolled stainless steel material made by hot rolling or cold rolling process, usually made of austenitic stainless steel (such as 304, 316) or martensitic stainless steel (such as 410, 420).
Stainless steel coil has excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and good processing performance, and is suitable for manufacturing structural parts, decorative parts and equipment.

Chemical composition of stainless steel coil​

The chemical composition of stainless steel is the basis of its excellent performance. (Take 304, 316, 410, 430 as an example):

FAQ

‌Martensitic stainless steel‌: This type of stainless steel usually has a higher carbon content, which gives it higher strength and hardness. Common martensitic stainless steels include 410, 420, 430 and 440.
Ferritic stainless steel‌: The main components are iron and chromium, and the chromium content is usually greater than 14%. Common ferritic stainless steels include types such as 430, which are suitable for manufacturing products such as home appliances and kitchenware.
‌Austenitic stainless steel‌: This is the most widely used type of stainless steel, with good plasticity, toughness and corrosion resistance. Austenitic stainless steel is divided into chromium-nickel stainless steel and chromium-manganese stainless steel, and common types include 304 and 316.
Duplex stainless steel‌: This type of stainless steel has the organizational characteristics of both austenite and ferrite, with high strength and good toughness, while maintaining good corrosion resistance.

‌Stainless steel coils are safe‌.
Stainless steel has the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
Especially in harsh industrial environments, stainless steel can resist the erosion of chemical substances and ensure the stable operation of the solenoid valve.‌ Stainless steel coils will not harm human health under normal use. Stainless steel is mainly composed of iron, chromium, nickel and other elements. These elements are safe for the human body when they meet the relevant national standards.
Therefore, choosing Walmay Steel to purchase stainless steel products that meet the standards and ensure that the migration of heavy metals does not exceed the limit can ensure its safety and health.‌

‌The best metals for making coils are copper and aluminum. ‌
Copper is widely used in coils because of its excellent conductivity and good plasticity. It can efficiently transmit current, reduce energy loss, and improve the efficiency of electrical equipment.
Aluminum is more suitable for applications with limited budgets or strict weight requirements due to its lower cost and lighter weight.
